Human Topors has originally been identified as binding partner of p53 and DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1). It can function as both an ubiquitin and SUMO-1 E3 ligase for p53. Here we demonstrate that Topors enhances the formation of high-molecular weight SUMO-1 conjugates of TOP1 in a reconstituted in vitro system and also in human osteosarcoma cells, similar to treatment with CPT. In contrast to the situation observed with p53, overall sumoylation levels were rather unaffected. Experiments with TOP1 point mutants strongly suggest that the high-molecular weight conjugates represent SUMO-1 chains formed on a limited number of SUMO-1 acceptor sites.
