Disease
[TOP1_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving TOP1 is found in a form of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome. Translocation t(11;20)(p15;q11) with NUP98.
Function
[TOP1_HUMAN] Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA introduced during the DNA replication and transcription by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 5'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then undergoes passage around the unbroken strand thus removing DNA supercoils. Finally, in the religation step, the DNA 5'-OH attacks the covalent intermediate to expel the active-site tyrosine and restore the DNA phosphodiester backbone (By similarity). Regulates the alternative splicing of tissue factor (F3) pre-mRNA in endothelial cells.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Based on co-crystal structures of human topoisomerase I with bound DNA, Lys(532) makes a minor groove contact with the strongly preferred thymidine residue at the site of covalent attachment (-1 position). Replacement of Lys(532) with either arginine or alanine has essentially no effect on the sequence preference of the enzyme, indicating that this interaction is not required for the preference for a T at the -1 position. Although both the cleavage and religation activities of the K532R mutant enzyme are reduced, cleavage is reduced to a greater extent than religation. The reverse is true for the K532A mutant enzyme with religation so impaired that the nicked intermediate accumulates during plasmid relaxation assays. Consistent with the shift in the cleavage religation equilibrium toward cleavage for the K532A mutant enzyme, expression of the mutant enzyme in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is cytotoxic, and thus this mutant enzyme mimics the effects of the anticancer drug camptothecin. Cleavage assays with the mutant enzymes using an oligonucleotide containing a 5'-bridging phosphorothiolate indicate that Lys(532) functions as a general acid during cleavage to protonate the leaving 5'-oxygen. It is possible that the contact with the -1 base is important during catalysis to provide positional rigidity to the active site. The corresponding residues in the vaccinia virus topoisomerase and the tyrosine recombinases may have similar critical roles in catalysis.
