Topoisomerases alter DNA topology and are vital
for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Topoisomerases I and II are
also targets for widely used antitumor agents. We demonstrated
previously that in the human leukemia cell line, HL-60, resistance to
topoisomerase (topo) II-targeting drugs such as etoposide is associated
with site-specific hypophosphorylation of topo II . This effect
can be mimicked in sensitive cells treated with the intracellular Ca2+ chelator,
1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA-AM). Here we identify Ser-1106 as a major phosphorylation site in the catalytic domain of topo II . This site lies within the
consensus sequence for the acidotrophic kinases, casein kinase I and
casein kinase II. Mutation of serine 1106 to alanine (S1106A) abrogates
phosphorylation of phosphopeptides that were found to be
hypophosphorylated in resistant HL-60 cells or sensitive cells treated
with BAPTA-AM. Purified topo II containing a S1106A substitution is
4-fold less active than wild type topo II in decatenating kinetoplast DNA and also exhibits a 2-4-fold decrease in the
level of etoposide-stabilized DNA cleavable complex formation.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (JN394t2-4) cells expressing
S1106A mutant topo II protein are more resistant to the cytotoxic
effects of etoposide or amsacrine. These results demonstrate that
Ca2+-regulated phosphorylation of Ser-1106 in the catalytic
domain of topo II modulates the enzymatic activity of this protein
and sensitivity to topo II-targeting drugs.
