説明

<jats:p>The mechanism of inhibition of eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase II [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolyzing), EC 5.99.1.3] by a member of the bisdioxopiperazine family of anticancer drugs, ICRF-193, was investigated by using purified yeast DNA topoisomerase II. In the absence of ATP, ICRF-193 has little effect on the binding of the enzyme to various forms of DNA. In the presence of ATP, the drug converts the enzyme to a form incapable of binding circular DNA. Incubation of a preformed circular DNA-enzyme complex with ICRF-193 and ATP converts the complex to a form stable in molar concentrations of salt. These results can be interpreted in terms of the ATP-modulated protein-clamp model of type II DNA topoisomerases [Roca, J. & Wang, J. C. (1992) Cell 71, 833-840]; ICRF-193 can bind to the closed-clamp form of the enzyme and prevents its conversion to the open-clamp form. This interpretation is further supported by the finding that whereas both ATP and the drug are needed to form the salt-stable circular DNA-enzyme complex, ATP is not needed for maintaining this complex; furthermore, a signature of the closed-clamp form of the enzyme, Staphylococcus aureus strain V8 endoproteinase cleavage site at Glu-680, is observed if the enzyme is incubated with both ATP and ICRF-193. Inhibition of interconversion between the open- and closed-clamp forms of type II DNA topoisomerases offers a new mechanism in the selection and design of therapeutics targeting this class of enzymes.</jats:p>
