Crystal structure of TDP2 from Danio rerio complexed with a single strand DNA
Structural highlights
FunctionTYDP2_DANRE DNA repair enzyme that can remove a variety of covalent adducts from DNA through hydrolysis of a 5'-phosphodiester bond, giving rise to DNA with a free 5' phosphate. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of dead-end complexes between DNA and the topoisomerase 2 (top2) active site tyrosine residue. Hydrolyzes 5'-phosphoglycolates on protruding 5' ends on DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) due to DNA damage by radiation and free radicals (By similarity). Controls gastrulation movements and left/right (L/R) axis determination via smad3-mediated regulation of cdh1/e-cadherin. Regulates the formation of Kupffer's vesicle, a signaling center essential for establishing L/R asymmetry. Modulates smad3 activity through modulating nodal-acvr1/akt4 signaling.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe DNA-repair enzyme Tdp2 resolves 5'-phosphotyrosyl DNA adducts and mediates resistance to anticancer drugs that target covalent topoisomerase-DNA complexes. Tdp2 also participates in key signaling pathways during development and tumorigenesis and cleaves a protein-RNA linkage during picornavirus replication. The crystal structure of zebrafish Tdp2 bound to DNA reveals a deep, narrow basic groove that selectively accommodates the 5' end of single-stranded DNA in a stretched conformation. The crystal structure of the full-length Caenorhabditis elegans Tdp2 shows that this groove can also accommodate an acidic peptide stretch in vitro, with glutamate and aspartate side chains occupying the DNA backbone phosphate-binding sites. This extensive molecular mimicry suggests a potential mechanism for autoregulation and interaction of Tdp2 with phosphorylated proteins in signaling. Our study provides a framework to interrogate functions of Tdp2 and develop inhibitors for chemotherapeutic and antiviral applications.
