There are no widely available licensed therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2, highlighting an urgent need for effective Downloaded from interventions. The virus enters host cells through binding of a receptor-binding domain within its trimeric spike glycoprotein to human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. In this article, we describe the generation and characterization of a panel of murine mAbs directed against the receptor-binding domain. One mAb, 2B04, neutralized wild-type SARS-CoV-2 in vitro with remarkable potency (half-maximal inhibitory concentration of <2 ng/ml). In a murine model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, 2B04 protected challenged animals from weight loss, reduced lung viral load, and blocked systemic dissemination. Thus, 2B04 is a promising candidate for an effective antiviral that can be used to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

It was previously shown that interruption of SUMOylation through the addition of the dominant negative E2 SUMO conjugating enzyme Ubc9 in mitosis causes abnormal chromosome segregation in Xenopus laevis egg extract (XEE) cell-free assays, and DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) was identified as a substrate for SUMOylation at the mitotic centromeres. TOP2A is SUMOylated at K660 and multiple sites in the C-terminal domain (CTD). We sought to understand the role of TOP2A SUMOylation at the mitotic centromeres by identifying specific binding proteins for SUMOylated TOP2A CTD. Through affinity isolation, we have identified Haspin, a histone H3 threonine 3 (H3T3) kinase, as a SUMOylated TOP2A CTD binding protein.

  • Sumoylation of DNA Topoisomerase Iiα Regulates Histone H3 Kinase Haspin and H3 Phosphorylation in Mitosis
    JCB: Article SUMOylation of DNA topoisomerase IIα regulates histone H3 kinase Haspin and H3 phosphorylation in mitosis Makoto M. Yoshida,1 Lily Ting,2 Steven P. Gygi,2 and Yoshiaki Azuma1 1Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045 2Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115 DNA topoisomerase II (TOP2) plays a pivotal role in faithful chromosome separation through its strand-passaging ac- tivity that resolves tangled genomic DNA during mitosis. Additionally, TOP2 controls progression of mitosis by activating cell cycle checkpoints. Recent work showed that the enzymatically inert C-terminal domain (CTD) of TOP2 and its post- translational modification are critical to this checkpoint regulation. However, the molecular mechanism has not yet been determined. By using Xenopus laevis egg extract, we found that SUMOylation of DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) CTD Downloaded from regulates the localization of the histone H3 kinase Haspin and phosphorylation of histone H3 at threonine 3 at the cen- tromere, two steps known to be involved in the recruitment of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) to kinetochores in mitosis. Robust centromeric Haspin localization requires SUMOylated TOP2A CTD binding activity through SUMO- interaction motifs and the phosphorylation of Haspin. We propose a novel mechanism through which the TOP2 CTD regulates the CPC via direct interaction with Haspin at mitotic centromeres. jcb.rupress.org Introduction Cell stage–specific kinases are important for the progression of the centromere through the activity of histone H3 kinase Haspin, on September 20, 2017 mitosis.

  • TOPBP1 Recruits TOP2A to Ultra-Fine Anaphase Bridges to Aid In
    ARTICLE Received 3 Dec 2014 | Accepted 9 Feb 2015 | Published 12 Mar 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms7572 TOPBP1 recruits TOP2A to ultra-fine anaphase bridges to aid in their resolution Ronan Broderick1, Jadwiga Nieminuszczy1,2, Andrew N. Blackford1,w, Alicja Winczura1,w & Wojciech Niedzwiedz1 During mitosis, sister chromatids must be faithfully segregated to ensure that daughter cells receive one copy of each chromosome. However, following replication they often remain entangled. Topoisomerase IIa (TOP2A) has been proposed to resolve such entanglements, but the mechanisms governing TOP2A recruitment to these structures remain poorly understood. Here, we identify TOPBP1 as a novel interactor of TOP2A, and reveal that it is required for TOP2A recruitment to ultra-fine anaphase bridges (UFBs) in mitosis. The C-terminal region of TOPBP1 interacts with TOP2A, and TOPBP1 recruitment to UFBs requires its BRCT domain 5. Depletion of TOPBP1 leads to accumulation of UFBs, the majority of which arise from centromeric loci. Accordingly, expression of a TOPBP1 mutant that is defective in TOP2A binding phenocopies TOP2A depletion. These findings provide new mechanistic insights into how TOP2A promotes resolution of UFBs during mitosis, and highlights a pivotal role for TOPBP1 in this process. 1 Department of Oncology, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, Oxford OX3 9DS, UK. 2 Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, PAS, 02-106 Warsaw, Poland. w Present addresses: Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, Tennis Court Road, Cambridge CB2 1QN, UK (A.N.B.); Division of Biomedical Cell Biology, Warwick Medical School, The University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK (A.W.).

R. China; 2Department of Pathology, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, Shandong, P. R. China Received December 7, 2017; Accepted January 19, 2018; Epub March 1, 2018; Published March 15, 2018 Abstract: Topoisomerase (DNA) II alpha (TOP2A), an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription, is aberrantly expressed in many cancers. However, few studies have investigated expression of TOP2A and its clinical significance in glioma. We retrieved six independent investigations from the Oncomine da- tabase and found that TOP2A is highly expressed in glioma tissues compared with corresponding normal controls. Similar results were also found in clinical specimens at the protein level. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that TOP2A over expression was highly correlated with grade stage, KI67 positive percentage, IDH1 mutation, and age, but other clinical parameters such as sex distribution and tumor size were barely associated with high TOP2A gene expression. Meanwhile we used Prognos can to assess the prognostic value of TOP2A expression in glioma patients, and found that high expression was associated with poor prognosis of patients with glioma. Furthermore, we used the Gene-Cloud of Biotechnology Information (GCBI) bioinformatics platform predict the role of TOP2A in glioma. It was not only involved in DNA replication, chromosome condensation, and responses to DNA damage stimuli, but also promoted cancer cell mitotic cell cycle and apoptosis, and phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling by regulating gene expression.

    Rondón-Lagos et al. BMC Cancer 2014, 14:922 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2407/14/922 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Unraveling the chromosome 17 patterns of FISH in interphase nuclei: an in-depth analysis of the HER2 amplicon and chromosome 17 centromere by karyotyping, FISH and M-FISH in breast cancer cells Milena Rondón-Lagos1,4, Ludovica Verdun Di Cantogno2, Nelson Rangel1,4, Teresa Mele3, Sandra R Ramírez-Clavijo4, Giorgio Scagliotti3, Caterina Marchiò1,2*† and Anna Sapino1,2*† Abstract Background: In diagnostic pathology, HER2 status is determined in interphase nuclei by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes for the HER2 gene and for the chromosome 17 centromere (CEP17). The latter probe is used as a surrogate for chromosome 17 copies, however chromosome 17 (Chr17) is frequently rearranged. The frequency and type of specific structural Chr17 alterations in breast cancer have been studied by using comparative genomic hybridization and spectral karyotyping, but not fully detailed. Actually, balanced chromosome rearrangements (e.g. translocations or inversions) and low frequency mosaicisms are assessable on metaphases using G-banding karyotype and multicolor FISH (M-FISH) only. Methods: We sought to elucidate the CEP17 and HER2 FISH patterns of interphase nuclei by evaluating Chr17 rearrangements in metaphases of 9 breast cancer cell lines and a primary culture from a triple negative breast carcinoma by using G-banding, FISH and M-FISH. Results: Thirty-nine rearranged chromosomes containing a portion of Chr17 were observed. Chromosomes 8 and 11 were the most frequent partners of Chr17 translocations. The lowest frequency of Chr17 abnormalities was observed in the HER2-negative cell lines, while the highest was observed in the HER2-positive SKBR3 cells.

Here, we develop a high-throughput sequencing technology to define TOP2 cleavage sites at single-base precision, and use the technology to characterize TOP2A cleavage genome-wide in the human K562 leukemia cell line. We find that TOP2A cleavage has functionally conserved local sequence preferences, occurs in cleavage cluster regions (CCRs), and is enriched in introns and lincRNA loci. TOP2A CCRs are biased toward the distal regions of gene bodies, and TOP2 poisons cause a proximal shift in their distribution.

They involve passing one intact double stranded DNA duplex through a transient enzyme-bridged break in another (gated helix) followed by ligation of the break by TOP2. A TOP2 poison, etoposide blocks TOP2 catalysis at the ligation step of the enzyme-bridged break, increasing the number of stable TOP2 cleavage complexes (TOP2ccs). Remarkably, such pathological TOP2ccs are formed during the normal cell cycle as well as in postmitotic cells. Thus, this ‘abortive catalysis’ can be a major source of spontaneously arising DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
