Bisdioxopiperazine drugs such as ICRF-187 are catalytic inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase II, with at least two effects on the enzyme: namely, locking it in a closed-clamp form and inhibiting its ATPase activity. This is in contrast to topoisomerase II poisons as etoposide and amsacrine (m-AMSA), which act by stabilizing enzyme-DNA-drug complexes at a stage in which the DNA gate strand is cleaved and the protein is covalently attached to DNA. Human small cell lung cancer NYH cells selected for resistance to ICRF-187 (NYH/187) showed a 25% increase in topoisomerase IIalpha level and no change in expression of the beta isoform. Sequencing of the entire topoisomerase IIalpha cDNA from NYH/187 cells demonstrated a homozygous G-->A point mutation at nucleotide 485, leading to a R162Q conversion in the Walker A consensus ATP binding site (residues 161-165 in the alpha isoform), this being the first drug-selected mutation described at this site. Western blotting after incubation with ICRF-187 showed no depletion of the alpha isoform in NYH/187 cells in contrast to wild-type (wt) cells, whereas equal depletion of the beta isoform was observed in the two sublines. Alkaline elution assay demonstrated a lack of inhibition of etoposide-induced DNA single-stranded breaks in NYH/187 cells, whereas this inhibition was readily apparent in NYH cells. Site-directed mutagenesis in human topoisomerase IIalpha introduced into a yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with a temperature-conditional yeast TOP2 mutant demonstrated that R162Q conferred resistance to the bisdioxopiperazines ICRF-187 and -193 but not to etoposide or m-AMSA. Both etoposide and m-AMSA induced more DNA cleavage with purified R162Q enzyme than with the wt. The R162Q enzyme has a 20-25% decreased catalytic capacity compared to the wt and was almost inactive at <0.25 mM ATP compared to the wt. Kinetoplast DNA decatenation by the R162Q enzyme at 1 mM ATP was not resistant to ICRF-187 compared to wt, whereas it was clearly less sensitive than wt to ICRF-187 at low ATP concentrations. This suggests that it is a shift in the equilibrium to an open-clamp state in the enzyme's catalytic cycle caused by a decreased ATP binding by the mutated enzyme that is responsible for bisdioxopiperazine resistance.

Catalysis of ATP hydrolysis by two NH(2)-terminal fragments of yeast DNA topoisomerase II was studied in the absence and presence of DNA, and in the absence and presence of inhibitor ICRF-193. The results indicate that purified Top2-(1-409), a fragment containing the NH(2)-terminal 409 amino acids of the yeast enzyme, is predominantly monomeric, with a low level of ATPase owing to weak association of two monomers to form a catalytically active dimer. The ATPase activity of Top2-(1-409) is independent of DNA in a buffer containing 100 mM NaCl, in which intact yeast DNA topoisomerase II exhibits robust DNA-dependent ATPase and DNA transport activities. Purified Top2-(1-660), a fragment containing the NH(2)-terminal 660 amino acid of the yeast enzyme, appears to be dimeric in the absence or presence of DNA, and the ATPase activity of the protein is significantly stimulated by DNA. These results are consistent with a model in which binding of an intact DNA topoisomerase II to DNA places the various subfragments of the enzyme in a way that makes the intramolecular dimerization of the ATPase domains more favorable. We believe that this alignment of subfragments is mainly achieved through the binding of the enzyme to the DNA segment within which the enzyme makes transient breaks. The ATPase activity of Top2-(1-409) is inhibited by ICRF-193, suggesting that the bisdioxopiperazine class of DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors directly interacts with the paired ATPase domains of the enzyme.

Collisions between replication forks and topoisomerase-drug-DNA ternary complexes result in the inhibition of DNA replication and the conversion of the normally reversible ternary complex to a nonreversible form. Ultimately, this can lead to the double strand break formation and subsequent cell death. To understand the molecular mechanisms of replication fork arrest by the ternary complexes, we have investigated molecular events during collisions between DNA helicases and topoisomerase-DNA complexes. A strand displacement assay was employed to assess the effect of topoisomerase IV (Topo IV)-norfloxacin-DNA ternary complexes on the DnaB, T7 gene 4 protein, SV40 T-antigen, and UvrD DNA helicases. The ternary complexes inhibited the strand displacement activities of these DNA helicases. Unlike replication fork arrest, however, this general inhibition of DNA helicases by Topo IV-norfloxacin-DNA ternary complexes did not require the cleavage and reunion activity of Topo IV. We also examined the reversibility of the ternary complexes after collisions with these DNA helicases. UvrD converted the ternary complex to a nonreversible form, whereas DnaB, T7 gene 4 protein, and SV40 T-antigen did not. These results suggest that the inhibition of DnaB translocation may be sufficient to arrest the replication fork progression but it is not sufficient to generate cytotoxic DNA lesion.

Mutations in the WRN gene result in Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disease in which many characteristics of aging are accelerated. A probable role in some aspect of DNA metabolism is suggested by the primary sequence of the WRN gene product. A recombinant His-tagged WRN protein (WRNp) was overproduced in insect cells using the baculovirus system and purified to near homogeneity by several chromatographic steps. This purification scheme removes both nuclease and topoisomerase contaminants that persist following a single Ni(2+)affinity chromatography step and allows for unambiguous interpretation of WRNp enzymatic activities on DNA substrates. Purified WRNp has DNA-dependent ATPase and helicase activities consistent with its homology to the RecQ subfamily of proteins. The protein also binds with higher affinity to single-stranded DNA than to double-stranded DNA. However, WRNp has no higher affinity for various types of DNA damage, including adducts formed during 4NQO treatment, than for undamaged DNA. Our results confirm that WRNp has a role in DNA metabolism, although this role does not appear to be the specific recognition of damage in DNA.

The nucleotide sequence of the genome of Chilo iridescent virus (CIV) between the genome coordinates 0.974 and 0.101 comprising 27,079 bp was determined. Computer-assisted analysis of the DNA sequence of this particular region of the CIV genome revealed the presence of 42 potential open reading frames (ORFs) with coding capacities for polypeptides ranging from 50 to 1,273 amino acid residues. The analysis of the amino acid sequences deduced from the individual ORFs resulted in the identification of 10 potential viral genes that show significant homology to functionally characterized proteins of other species. A cluster of five viral genes that encode enzymes involved in the viral DNA replication was identified including the DNA topoisomerase II (A039L,1,132 amino acids (aa)), the DNA polymerase (ORF A031L,1,273 aa), a helicase (ORF A027L, 530 aa), a nucleoside triphosphatase I (ORF A025L, 1,171 aa), and an exonuclease II (ORF A019L, 624aa), all ORFs possessing the same genomic orientation. The DNA polymerase of CIV showed the highest homology (24.8% identity) to the DNA polymerase of lymphocystis disease virus lymphocystis disease virus 1 (LCDV-1), a member of the family Iridoviridae, indicating the close relatedness of the two viruses. In addition, four putative gene products were found to be significantly homologous to previously identified hypothetical proteins of CIV.

Topoisomerase II-catalyzed DNA transport requires coordination between two distinct reactions: ATP hydrolysis and DNA cleavage/religation. To further understand how these reactions are coupled, inhibition by the clinically used anticancer drug etoposide was studied. The IC(50) for perturbing the DNA cleavage/religation equilibrium is nucleotide-dependent; its value is 6 microM in the presence of ATP, 25 microM in the presence of a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, and 45 microM in the presence of ADP or no nucleotide. This inhibition was further characterized using steady-state and pre-steady-state ATPase and decatenation assays. Etoposide is a hyperbolic noncompetitive inhibitor of the ATPase activity with a K(i)(app) of 5.6 microM no inhibition of ATP hydrolysis is seen in the absence of DNA cleavage. In order to determine which steps of the ATPase mechanism etoposide inhibits, pre-steady-state analysis was performed. These results showed that etoposide does not reduce the rate of binding two ATP, hydrolyzing the first ATP, or releasing the second ADP. Inhibition is therefore associated with the first product release step or hydrolysis of the second ATP, suggesting that DNA religation normally occurs at one of these two steps. Multiple turnover decatenation is inhibited when etoposide is present; however, single turnover decatenation occurs normally. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of their contribution to our current model for the topoisomerase II mechanism.

DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that regulates the DNA topology in bacteria. It belongs to the type II DNA topoisomerase family and is responsible for the introduction of negative supercoils into DNA at the expense of hydrolysis of ATP molecules. The aim of the present work was to study the contribution of I10, one of the most important residues responsible for the stabilization of GyrB dimer and involved in the ATP-binding step, in the ATP-hydrolysis reaction and in the DNA supercoiling mechanism. We constructed MBP-tagged GyrB mutants I10G and Delta4-14. Our results demonstrate that both mutations severely affect the DNA-dependent ATPase activity and DNA supercoiling. Mutation of Y5 residue involved in the formation of ATPase catalytic site (Y5G mutant) had only little effect on the DNA-dependent ATPase activity and DNA supercoiling. Interestingly, the DNA-relaxation activity of MBP-GyrB mutants and wild type was completely inhibited by ATP. Binding of ADPNP to MBP-tagged mutants was significantly decreased. ADPNP had no effect on DNA-relaxation activity of MBP-tagged mutants but was able to inhibit MBP-tagged wild type enzyme. Our results demonstrate that GyrB N-terminal arm, and specially I10 residue is essential for ATP binding/hydrolysis efficiency and DNA transfer through DNA gyrase.

DNA topoisomerase II uses a complex, sequential mechanism of ATP hydrolysis to catalyze the transport of one DNA duplex through a transient break in another. ICRF-193 is a catalytic inhibitor of topoisomerase II that is known to trap a closed-clamp intermediate form of the enzyme. Using steady-state and rapid kinetic ATPase and DNA transport assays, we have analyzed how trapping this intermediate by the drug perturbs the topoisomerase II mechanism. The drug has no effect on the rate of the first turnover of decatenation but potently inhibits subsequent turnovers with an IC(50) of 6.5 +/- 1 microM for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme. This drug inhibits the ATPase activity of topoisomerase II by an unusual, mixed-type mechanism; the drug is not a competitive inhibitor of ATP, and even at saturating concentrations of drug, the enzyme continues to hydrolyze ATP, albeit at a reduced rate. Topoisomerase II that was specifically isolated in the drug-bound, closed-clamp form continues to hydrolyze ATP, indicating that the enzyme clamp does not need to re-open to bind and hydrolyze ATP. When rapid-quench ATPase assays were initiated by the addition of ATP, the drug had no effect on the sequential hydrolysis of either the first or second ATP. By contrast, when the drug was prebound, the enzyme hydrolyzed one labeled ATP at the uninhibited rate but did not hydrolyze a second ATP. These results are interpreted in terms of the catalytic mechanism for topoisomerase II and suggest that ICRF-193 interacts with the enzyme bound to one ADP.

Ribosomal protein L3 (L3) has been demonstrated to participate in formation of the peptidyltransferase center and is essential for its catalytic activity. In the present study we show that L3 is able to bind nucleotide triphosphates with high and specific affinity in vitro. L3 was serendipitously identified by screening of a genomic phage library from a primitive kinetoplastid flagellate Trypanoplasma borreli with the ATPase domain of the topoisomerase II gene as a probe. The cloned gene was overexpressed and purified as a his-tag fusion protein in E. coli. Radioligand binding experiments, using [gamma-35S]ATP, showed that L3 is able to bind ATP but also GTP and UTP with similar high affinity (IC50 50-100 nM), while it has no ATPase activity. Furthermore, we showed that L3 has more than 500-fold higher affinity for nucleotide triphosphates compared to the corresponding nucleotide monophosphates and diphosphates. Molecular genetic and biochemical analyses allowed us to localize the NTP binding domain of L3 to the N-terminal 296 residues. Suramin, a polysulfonated naphthylamine derivative of urea, known for its chemotherapeutic effects completely inhibited the binding of [gamma-35S]ATP at subclinical levels. Results obtained with surface plasmon resonance technology showed that suramin both forms weak multimolecular complexes with L3 and binds strongly to L3 in nearly stoichiometric amounts.

F 11782, a novel epipodophylloid, proved a potent inhibitor of the catalytic activities of both topoisomerases I and II. Unlike classical inhibitors such as camptothecin or etoposide, F 11782 did not stabilise cleavable complexes induced by either topoisomerases I or II nor did it preferentially inhibit the religation step of the catalytic cycle of either enzyme. F 11782 neither intercalated DNA nor bound in its minor groove, and showed only weak inhibition of the ATPase activity associated with topoisomerase II. F 11782 appeared to act by inhibiting the binding of topoisomerases I and II to DNA in a manner dependent both on drug and enzyme concentrations, via a mechanism not previously described or shared by other known topoisomerase 'poisons' or inhibitors. In contrast, F 11782 had only a weak effect or none at all on various other DNA-interacting enzymes. In conclusion, F 11782, as a non-intercalating, specific catalytic inhibitor of both topoisomerases I and II with an original mechanism of action, may be considered to represent the first of a new class of topoisomerase-interacting agents.
