Summary

TOP2A (DNA topoisomerase II alpha, HGNC:11989) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q21.2, encoding DNA topoisomerase 2-alpha (P11388). Key decatenating enzyme that alters DNA topology by binding to two double-stranded DNA molecules, generating a double-stranded break in one of the strands, passing the intact strand through the broken strand, and religating the broken strand. In precision oncology, TOP2A EXPRESSION confers sensitivity to Doxorubicin in Breast Cancer (CIViC Level B). It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.6% of cancer cell lines).

This gene encodes a DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This nuclear enzyme is involved in processes such as chromosome condensation, chromatid separation, and the relief of torsional stress that occurs during DNA transcription and replication. It catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of two strands of duplex DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another, thus altering the topology of DNA. Two forms of this enzyme exist as likely products of a gene duplication event. The gene encoding this form, alpha, is localized to chromosome 17 and the beta gene is localized to chromosome 3. The gene encoding this enzyme functions as the target for several anticancer agents and a variety of mutations in this gene have been associated with the development of drug resistance. Reduced activity of this enzyme may also play a role in ataxia-telangiectasia.

Function. Key decatenating enzyme that alters DNA topology by binding to two double-stranded DNA molecules, generating a double-stranded break in one of the strands, passing the intact strand through the broken strand, and religating the broken strand. May play a role in regulating the period length of BMAL1 transcriptional oscillation.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with COPS5. Interacts with RECQL5; this stimulates DNA decatenation. Interacts with SETMAR; stimulates the topoisomerase activity. Interacts with DHX9; this interaction occurs in a E2 enzyme UBE2I- and RNA-dependent manner, negatively regulates DHX9-mediated double-stranded DNA and RNA duplex helicase activity and stimulates TOP2A-mediated supercoiled DNA relaxation activity. Interacts with HNRNPU (via C-terminus); this interaction protects the topoisomerase TOP2A from degradation and positively regulates the relaxation of supercoiled DNA in a RNA-dependent manner. Interacts with MCM3AP isoform GANP. Interacts with ERCC6. Interacts with PLSCR1. Interacts with GCNA; this interaction allows the resolution of topoisomerase II (TOP2A) DNA-protein cross-links. Interacts with POL1RA/RPA1 (via dock II) and UBTF in the context of Pol I complex; may assist Pol I transcription initiation by releasing supercoils occurring during DNA unwinding. Interacts with TPRN; TPRN interacts with a number of DNA damage response proteins, is recruited to sites of DNA damage and may play a role in DNA damage repair. Interacts with FBXO28; this interaction leads to TOP2A proteasomal degradation.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleoplasm. Nucleolus.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in the tonsil, spleen, lymph node, thymus, skin, pancreas, testis, colon, kidney, liver, brain and lung. Also found in high-grade lymphomas, squamous cell lung tumors and seminomas.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation has no effect on catalytic activity. However, phosphorylation at Ser-1106 by CSNK1D/CK1 promotes DNA cleavable complex formation. (Microbial infection) Deubiquitinated by Epstein-Barr virus BPLF1; leading to stabilized SUMOylated TOP2A trapped in cleavage complexes, which halts the DNA damage response to TOP2A-induced double-strand DNA breaks. SUMOylated. Ubiquitinated in a FBXO28-dependent manner; leading to TOP2A proteasomal degradation.

Activity regulation. Specifically inhibited by the intercalating agent amsacrine.

Cofactor. Binds two Mg(2+) per subunit. The magnesium ions form salt bridges with both the protein and the DNA. Can also accept other divalent metal cations, such as Mn(2+) or Ca(2+).

Domain organisation. The N-terminus has several structural domains; the ATPase domain (about residues 1-265), the transducer domain (about 266-428) and the toprim domain (455-572). Comparing different structures shows ATP hydrolysis induces domain shifts in the N-terminus that are probably part of the mechanism of DNA cleavage and rejoining.

Miscellaneous. Eukaryotic topoisomerase I and II can relax both negative and positive supercoils, whereas prokaryotic enzymes relax only negative supercoils.

Similarity. Belongs to the type II topoisomerase family.
