Abstract
DNA topoisomerase I is phosphorylated after mitogenic stimulation of 3T3-L1 mouse fibroblasts by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), a phorbol ester tumor promoter. In vivo labeling with [32P]orthophosphate and immunoprecipitation with an anti-DNA topoisomerase I antibody has demonstrated an increase in the phosphorylation of DNA topoisomerase I in Swiss/3T3 mouse fibroblasts treated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and H35 rat hepatoma cells treated with insulin. The only phosphorylated form of DNA topoisomerase I observed was the 100-kDa protein. Digestion of DNA topoisomerase I with trypsin revealed two phosphopeptides. In addition, VT-1, a non-responsive genetic variant of 3T3-L1, and the DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin were used to further study TPA-induced DNA topoisomerase I phosphorylation. Our results indicate that the phosphorylation of DNA topoisomerase I may be an ubiquitous response of cultured mammalian cells to mitogenic agents, even in the absence of DNA replication.
