El-Khamisy 2 & Kristijan Ramadan 1 1234567890():,; Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) regulates DNA topology to ensure efficient DNA repli- cation and transcription. TOP1 is also a major driver of endogenous genome instability, particularly when its catalytic intermediate—a covalent TOP1-DNA adduct known as a TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc)—is stabilised. TOP1ccs are highly cytotoxic and a failure to resolve them underlies the pathology of neurological disorders but is also exploited in cancer therapy where TOP1ccs are the target of widely used frontline anti-cancer drugs. A critical enzyme for TOP1cc resolution is the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP1), which hydro- lyses the bond that links a tyrosine in the active site of TOP1 to a 3’ phosphate group on a single-stranded (ss)DNA break. However, TDP1 can only process small peptide fragments from ssDNA ends, raising the question of how the ~90 kDa TOP1 protein is processed upstream of TDP1. Here we find that TEX264 fulfils this role by forming a complex with the p97 ATPase and the SPRTN metalloprotease. We show that TEX264 recognises both unmodified and SUMO1-modifed TOP1 and initiates TOP1cc repair by recruiting p97 and SPRTN. TEX264 localises to the nuclear periphery, associates with DNA replication forks, and counteracts TOP1ccs during DNA replication. Altogether, our study elucidates the existence of a specialised repair complex required for upstream proteolysis of TOP1ccs and their subsequent resolution. 1 Cancer Research UK and Medical Research Council Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology, Department of Oncology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX3 7DQ, UK. 2 The University of Sheffield Neuroscience Institute and the Healthy Lifespan Institute, Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Firth Court, University of Sheffield, S10 2TN Sheffield, UK. 3 Unidad de Investigación, Hospital Universitario de Canarias, Ofra s/n, La Cuesta, 38320 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain. 4 Instituto de Tecnologías Biomédicas, Universidad de La Laguna, 38200 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain. 5 Universidad Fernando Pessoa Canarias, 35450 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. 6 TDI Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Target Discovery Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of ✉ Oxford, Oxford, UK. 7These authors contributed equally: John Fielden, Katherine Wiseman. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 11:1274 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15000-w | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15000-w opoisomerase 1 (TOP1) resolves DNA topological stress relevant doses of TOP1 poisons, and exhibit DNA replication Taccumulated during DNA replication and transcription.

Our data suggest that p97 and TEX264 enable the repair part of its catalytic cycle, TOP1 forms an intermediate that of TOP1ccs by facilitating their proteolysis via SPRTN upstream is covalently bound to DNA, known as a TOP1 cleavage complex of TDP1. This discovery is important for preserving genome (TOP1cc). TOP1ccs are usually transient but can become trapped stability from endogenous TOP1ccs and could be relevant for if TOP1 cleaves near a DNA alteration or is exposed to TOP1 clinical resistance to TOP1 poisons. poisons.

To identify modulators of TOP1ccs is also exploited in cancer therapy by the widely used TOP1cc repair, we isolated chromatin from YFP-TOP1-expressing class of anti-cancer drugs, known as camptothecins (CPT), which human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells and subjected YFP stabilise TOP1ccs by binding the TOP1–DNA interface. immunoprecipitates to liquid chromatography–tandem mass CPT derivatives are routinely used to treat ovarian, colon, and spectrometry (LC–MS/MS; Source Data).
