Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP1) is a DNA repair enzyme that removes peptide fragments linked through tyrosine to the 3' end of DNA, and can also remove 3'-phosphoglycolates (PGs) formed by free radical-mediated DNA cleavage. To assess whether TDP1 is primarily responsible for PG removal during in vitro end joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), whole-cell extracts were prepared from lymphoblastoid cells derived either from spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1) patients, who have an inactivating mutation in the active site of TDP1, or from closely matched normal controls. Whereas extracts from normal cells catalyzed conversion of 3'-PG termini, both on single-strand oligomers and on 3' overhangs of DSBs, to 3'-phosphate termini, extracts of SCAN1 cells did not process either substrate. Addition of recombinant TDP1 to SCAN1 extracts restored 3'-PG removal, allowing subsequent gap filling on the aligned DSB ends. Two of three SCAN1 lines examined were slightly more radiosensitive than normal cells, but only for fractionated radiation in plateau phase. The results suggest that the TDP1 mutation in SCAN1 abolishes the 3'-PG processing activity of the enzyme, and that there are no other enzymes in cell extracts capable of processing protruding 3'-PG termini. However, the lack of severe radiosensitivity suggests that there must be alternative, TDP1-independent pathways for repair of 3'-PG DSBs.

2',3'-Cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP), a member of the 2H phosphoesterase superfamily, is firmly bound to brain white matter and found mainly in the central nervous system of vertebrates, and it catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide to produce 2'-nucleotide. Recent studies on CNP-knockout mice have revealed that the absence of CNP causes axonal swelling and neuronal degeneration. Here, the crystal structure of the catalytic fragment (CF) of human CNP (hCNP-CF) is solved at 1.8A resolution. It is an alpha+beta type structure consisting of three alpha-helices and nine beta-strands. The structural core of the molecule is comprised of two topologically equivalent three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheets that are related by a pseudo 2-fold symmetry. Each beta-sheet contains an H-X-T-X motif, which is strictly conserved among members of the 2H phosphoesterase superfamily. The phosphate ion is bound to the side-chains of His and Thr from each of the two motifs. Structural comparison of hCNP-CF with plant 1'',2''-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CPDase) and bacterial 2'-5' RNA ligase reveals that the H-X-T-X motifs are structurally conserved among these enzymes, but the surface properties of the active site are quite different among the enzymes, reflecting the differences in their substrates. On the basis of the present crystal structure of the hCNP-CF/phosphate complex, the available structure of the CPDase/cyclic-nucleotide analogue complex, and the recent functional studies of rat CNP-CF, we propose a possible substrate-binding mode and catalytic mechanism of CNP, which employs the nucleophilic water molecule activated by His310. The proposed mechanism is basically equivalent to the second step of the well-accepted reaction mechanism of RNase A. Since the overall structure of hCNP-CF differs considerably from that of RNase A, it is likely that the similar active sites with two catalytic histidine residues in these enzymes arose through convergent evolution.

Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy-1 (SCAN1) is a neurodegenerative disease that results from mutation of tyrosyl phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1). In lower eukaryotes, Tdp1 removes topoisomerase 1 (top1) peptide from DNA termini during the repair of double-strand breaks created by collision of replication forks with top1 cleavage complexes in proliferating cells. Although TDP1 most probably fulfils a similar function in human cells, this role is unlikely to account for the clinical phenotype of SCAN1, which is associated with progressive degeneration of post-mitotic neurons. In addition, this role is redundant in lower eukaryotes, and Tdp1 mutations alone confer little phenotype. Moreover, defects in processing or preventing double-strand breaks during DNA replication are most probably associated with increased genetic instability and cancer, phenotypes not observed in SCAN1 (ref. 8). Here we show that in human cells TDP1 is required for repair of chromosomal single-strand breaks arising independently of DNA replication from abortive top1 activity or oxidative stress. We report that TDP1 is sequestered into multi-protein single-strand break repair (SSBR) complexes by direct interaction with DNA ligase IIIalpha and that these complexes are catalytically inactive in SCAN1 cells. These data identify a defect in SSBR in a neurodegenerative disease, and implicate this process in the maintenance of genetic integrity in post-mitotic neurons.

Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the tyrosyl-3' phosphate linkage found in topoisomerase I-DNA covalent complexes. The inherited disorder, spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1), is caused by a H493R mutation in Tdp1. Contrary to earlier proposals that this disease results from a loss-of-function mutation, we show here that this mutation reduces enzyme activity approximately 25-fold and importantly causes the accumulation of the Tdp1-DNA covalent reaction intermediate. Thus, the attempted repair of topoisomerase I-DNA complexes by Tdp1 unexpectedly generates a new protein-DNA complex with an apparent half-life of approximately 13 min that, in addition to the unrepaired topoisomerase I-DNA complex, may interfere with transcription and replication in human cells and contribute to the SCAN1 phenotype. The analysis of Tdp1 mutant cell lines derived from SCAN1 patients reveals that they are hypersensitive to the topoisomerase I-specific anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT), implicating Tdp1 in the repair of CPT-induced topoisomerase I damage in human cells. This finding suggests that inhibitors of Tdp1 could act synergistically with CPT in anticancer therapy.

In the process of screening cell-type-specific genes, we identified juxtanodin (JN), an oligodendroglial protein featuring a putative C-terminal actin-binding domain. At the cellular level, JN in the rat CNS colocalized with 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase), a cytoskeleton-related oligodendroglial protein. In the myelin sheath, JN was found mainly in the abaxon and the lateral few terminal loops. Its apposition to the myelinated axon, through the latter, defined an axonal subregion, herewith termed juxtanode, at the Ranvier node-paranode junction. During forebrain ontogenesis, JN expression paralleled that of MBPs but lagged behind CNPase. Juxtanodin transfection promoted arborization of cultured OLN-93 cells and augmented endogenous CNPase expression and transport to the process arbors of cultured primary oligodendrocyte precursors. These results reveal JN as a cytoskeleton-related oligodendroglial protein that delineates the juxtanode and might serve oligodendrocyte motility, differentiation, or myelin-axon signaling. Functionally, JN may be involved in CNS myelination and/or specialization of the node of Ranvier.

Human tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1) hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond between a DNA 3' end and a tyrosyl moiety. In eukaryotic cells, this type of linkage is found in stalled topoisomerase I-DNA covalent complexes, and Tdp1 has been implicated in the repair of such complexes in vivo. We confirm here that the Tdp1 catalytic cycle involves a covalent reaction intermediate in which a histidine residue is connected to a DNA 3'-phosphate through a phosphoamide linkage. Most surprisingly, this linkage can be hydrolyzed by Tdp1, and unlike a topoisomerase I-DNA complex, which requires modification to be an efficient substrate for Tdp1, the native form of Tdp1 can be removed from the DNA. The spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy neurodegenerative disease is caused by the H493R mutant form of Tdp1, which shows reduced enzymatic activity and accumulates the Tdp1-DNA covalent intermediate. The ability of wild type Tdp1 to remove the stalled mutant protein from the DNA likely explains the recessive nature of spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy. In addition to its activity on phosphotyrosine and phosphohistidine substrates, Tdp1 also possesses a limited DNA and RNA 3'-exonuclease activity in which a single nucleoside is removed from the 3'-hydroxyl end of the substrate. Furthermore, Tdp1 also removes a 3' abasic site and an artificial 3'-biotin adduct from the DNA. In combination with earlier data showing that Tdp1 can use 3'-phosphoglycolate as a substrate, these data suggest that Tdp1 may function to remove a variety of 3' adducts from DNA during DNA repair.

Hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1) is caused by an inactivating mutation (H493R) in the enzyme tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1), which removes blocked 3'-termini at DNA strand breaks. Using SCAN1 cells treated with the specific topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitor camptothecin, we find enhanced levels of Top1 cleavage complexes (Top1cc) and defective reversal of Top1cc in SCAN1 Tdp1-deficient cells, indicating a direct involvement of Tdp1 in the repair of Top1cc. Because the defective removal of Top1cc and the hypersensitivity of SCAN1 cells to camptothecin are not affected by aphidicolin, we propose that Tdp1 is involved in the repair of Top1cc associated with transcription damage in SCAN1 cells.

DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) are the commonest DNA lesions arising spontaneously in cells, and if not repaired may block transcription or may be converted into potentially lethal/clastogenic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Recently, evidence has emerged that defects in the rapid repair of SSBs preferentially impact the nervous system. In particular, spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1) is a human disease that is associated with mutation of TDP1 (tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 1) protein and with a defect in repairing certain types of SSBs. Although SCAN1 is a rare neurodegenerative disorder, understanding the molecular basis of this disease will lead to better understanding of neurodegenerative processes. Here we review recent progress in our understanding of TDP1, single-strand break repair (SSBR), and neurodegenerative disease.

Regeneration-induced CNPase homolog (RICH) is an axonal growth-associated protein, which is induced in teleost fish upon optical nerve injury. RICH consists of a highly acidic N-terminal domain, a catalytic domain with 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) activity and a C-terminal isoprenylation site. In vitro RICH and mammalian brain CNPase specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides to produce 2'-nucleotides, but the physiologically relevant in vivo substrate remains unknown. Here, we report the NMR structure of the catalytic domain of goldfish RICH and describe its binding to CNPase inhibitors. The structure consists of a twisted nine-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet surrounded by alpha-helices on both sides. Despite significant local differences mostly arising from a seven-residue insert in the RICH sequence, the active site region is highly similar to that of human CNPase. Likewise, refinement of the catalytic domain of rat CNPase using residual dipolar couplings gave improved agreement with the published crystal structure. NMR titrations of RICH with inhibitors point to a similar catalytic mechanism for RICH and CNPase. The results suggest a functional importance for the evolutionarily conserved phosphodiesterase activity and hint of a link with pre-tRNA splicing.

Tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase-1 (TDP1) is the gene product mutated in spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy1 (SCAN1). SCAN1 is a hereditary ataxia that lacks extra-neurological phenotype, pointing to a critical role for TDP1 in the nervous system. Recently, we showed that TDP1 is associated with the DNA single-strand break (SSBR) repair machinery through an interaction with DNA ligase 3alpha (Lig3alpha) and that SCAN1 cells are defective in the repair of chromosomal DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) arising from abortive Topoisomerase 1 (Top1)-DNA intermediates. Here we demonstrate that TDP1 is also required for the repair of SSBs induced by ionizing radiation (IR), though not measurably for IR-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In addition, we provide evidence that abortive Top1 cleavage complexes are processed by the proteasome prior to the action of TDP1 in vivo, and we exploit this observation to show that the SSBR defect in SCAN1 following IR reflects, in part at least, the presence of IR-induced protein-DNA cross-links. Finally we show that TDP1 activity at abortive Top1-SSBs is stimulated by XRCC1/Lig3alpha in vitro. These data expand the type of SSBs processed by TDP1 to include those induced by ionizing radiation, and raise the possibility that TDP1 inhibitors may improve radiotherapy.
