Identification of the nature of modification that causes the shift of DNA topoisomerase II beta to apparent higher molecular weight forms in the M phase

Human cell lines express two genetically distinct isoforms of DNA topoisomerase (topo II) II: topo II alpha (p170) and topo II beta (p180). We detected a higher molecular weight form with an apparent molecular mass of about 190 kDa in M phase-arrested HeLa cells (Kimura, K., Saijo, M., Ui, M., and Enomoto, T. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 1173- 1176). In this study we confirmed, using anti-topo II alpha and topo II beta monoclonal antibodies, that this higher molecular weight form is topo II beta and consists of doublet bands around 190 kDa. We confirmed that the doublet bands constituted an M phase-specific phenomenon and were not an artifact of the procedure used to accumulate mitotic cells. Digesting the immunoprecipitated materials from mitotic cell extracts with alkaline phosphatase resulted in the disappearance of the doublet bands and the appearance of the 180-kDa band with the concomitant disappearance of 32P label in the region of the doublet bands. Neither heat-inactivated alkaline phosphatase nor phosphodiesterase affected the doublet bands and the 32P label. Topo II beta in interphase cells was also phosphorylated, but the shift in apparent molecular weight was very slight after alkaline phosphatase digestion. Analysis of the labeled phosphoamino acids present in topo II beta from M phase and logarithmically growing cells indicated that phosphorylation occurred mainly on serine and fairly on threonine residues in both topo II beta isoforms. These results indicated that topo II beta is phosphorylated at specific sites in M phase, resulting in the formation of the doublet bands.
