DNA damage is attended by rapid recruitment of endogenous type I
topoisomerase (topo I) into covalent cleavage complexes with genomic
DNA in vivo. In contrast, endogenous topoisomerase II
and ß are not stimulated by DNA damage. We show that topo I and
p53 are able to associate at arrested topo I-genomic DNA covalent
complexes in vivo, suggesting that p53 directly
stimulates topo I activity and damage to the genome of the afflicted
cell. Moreover, cells that express wild-type p53 are most proficient at
recruiting topo I after DNA damage; however, the p53 dependence is
conditional because topo I recruitment after DNA damage can be restored
if p53 mutant cells (containing a single mutant allele) are
artificially held in G1. In contrast, p53 null mutants do
not recruit topo I after DNA damage under any conditions (although
camptothecin-dependent topo I/DNA complexes readily form in the nulls).
These results show that topo I activation after DNA damage depends on
the p53 status of the cell. It also depends upon the cell cycle in a
way that is very different from that observed with DNA
replication-dependent, camptothecin-mediated DNA breaks. The data
suggest a model where p53 activates topo I, which inflicts additional
genomic damage after the initial UV damage events. Topoisomerases
therefore contribute to the p53 commitment to apoptosis, and topo I
might assist in elimination of DNA-damaged cells as part of the
cellular proofreading function inherent in the p53 pathway.
