Conjugation of Human Topoisomerase 2α with Small Ubiquitin-like Modifiers 2/3 in Response to Topoisomerase Inhibitors: Cell Cycle Stage and Chromosome Domain Specificity

Abstract: Type 2 topoisomerases, in particular the A isoform in human cells, play a key role in cohesion and sister chromatid separation during mitosis. These enzymes are thus vital for cycling cells and are obvious targets in cancer chemotherapy. Evidence obtained in yeast and Xenopus model systems indicates that conjugation of topoisomerase 2 with small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins is required for its mitotic functions.

“…The inhibition of TopoII␣ activity by ICRF-193 treatment has been shown to increase PICH-loaded ultrafine DNA bridges (36). Interestingly, the same inhibitor is known to increase TopoII␣ SUMOylation in mitosis (37). Thus, it is possible that the hyper-SUMOylation of TopoII␣ by contributes to the retention of PICH at ultrafine DNA bridges during anaphase, in addition to the maintenance of catenated DNA via the inhibition of TopoII␣ activity.…”

“…The family plays an important role in mitotic chromosome structure and centromeric cohesion, which is down-regulated through TOP2 sumoylation (Azuma et al 2003, Dasso 2008). Furthermore, certain genotoxic, oxidative, and heat shock stresses rapidly increased the level of SUMO TOP1 and SUMO TOP2 conjugates (Mao et al 2000, Agostinho et al 2008. A specific role of TOP2A in germ cells has been suggested, but whether the protein's activity in these cells is regulated by sumoylation remains unknown (Cobb et al 1999).…”

“…Mechanistic insight into the regulation of mitosis by SUMOylation has been achieved through the identification of SUMOylated proteins. Examples being the modification of Topoisomerase II by SUMO2/3, to localize it to centromeres [10][12] or the modification of Nuf2 and BubR1 with SUMO2/3 to act as a scaffold for recruiting CENP-E to kinetochores [13]. Despite the importance of the SUMO pathway in mitotic regulation, a comprehensive characterization of targets at close to physiological conditions has not been performed.…”
