Project description:The cancer target enyzme topoisomerase 1 transiently cleaves one strand of chromosomal DNA to relax accumulated strain that can prevent transcription, replication or chromatin assembly. The topoisomerase 1 poison camptothecin and its synthetic analogs are widely used chemotherapeutics that act by trapping the enzyme on DNA in a ‘covalent complex’, resulting in persistent DNA damage and cell death. The prevailing model, interfacial inhibition, contends that the covalent complex is trapped by drug binding alone. In contrast, here we show that camptothecins produce extensive oxidative stress and that topoisomerase 1 is reactive with electrophilic second messengers of oxidative damage. We show that blocking oxidative stress in cells inhibits covalent complex formation by camptothecin, while electrophiles such as 4-hydroxynonenal are able to induce covalent complex formation in cells on their own. Towards mechanism of action, we show that 4-hydroxynonenal electrophilically modifies a cysteine within the DNA-binding active site of human topoisomerase 1. Taken together, our results suggest a mechanism in which oxidative stress mediates the effects of many topoisomerase 1 poisons, and suggest that this critical DNA-regulating enzyme may have a dual role as a sensor of cellular redox stress, linking oxidative stress to DNA damage response in cancer cells.

Project description:Topoisomerases are necessary for the expression of neurodevelopmental genes, and are mutated in some patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We have studied the effects of inhibitors of Topoisomerase 1 (Top1) and Topoisomerase 2 (Top2) enzymes on mouse cortical neurons. We find that topoisomerases selectively inhibit long genes (>100kb), with little effect on all other gene expression. Using ChIPseq against RNA Polymerase II (Pol2) we show that the Top1 inhibitor topotecan blocks transcriptional elongation of long genes specifically. Many of the genes inhibited by topotecan are candidate ASD genes, leading us to propose that topoisomerase inhibition might contribute to ASD pathology.

Project description:Topoisomerase 3β (Top3β) relaxes DNA and RNA and its dysregulation is implicated in various neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders. We developed a novel protocol to isolate RNA targets of the topoisomerase without artificial cross-linking and used it to identify the RNA targets of Top3β. Lack of the enzymatic activity of Top3β affects gene expression of (pre)mRNAs with the characteristics described for the Top3β targets and we found evidence that this might also apply to several neurological diseases and cancers with which human Top3β was associated.

Project description:A unique signature of neuronal transcriptomes is the high expression of the longest genes in the genome (e.g. >100 kilobases). These genes encode proteins with essential functions in neuronal physiology, and disruption of long gene expression has been implicated in neurological disorders. DNA topoisomerases resolve topological constraints that arise on DNA and facilitate the expression of long genes in neurons. Conversely, methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which is disrupted in Rett syndrome, can act as a transcriptional repressor to downregulate the expression of long genes. The molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of long genes by these factors are not fully understood, however, and whether or not they directly influence each other is not known. Here, we identify a functional interaction between MeCP2 and Topoisomerase II-beta (TOP2β) in neurons. We show that MeCP2 and TOP2β physically interact in vivo and map protein sequences sufficient for their physical interaction in vitro. We profile TOP2β activity genome-wide in neurons and detect enrichment at regulatory regions and gene bodies of long neuronal genes, including long genes regulated by MeCP2. Further, we find that knockdown and overexpression of MeCP2 leads to altered TOP2β activity at MeCP2-regulated genes. Our findings uncover a mechanism by which MeCP2 inhibits the activity of TOP2β at long genes in neurons and suggest that this mechanism is disrupted in neurodevelopment disorders caused by mutation of MeCP2.
