Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1) is a DNA 3'-end processing enzyme that repairs topoisomerase 1B-induced DNA damage. We use a new tool combining site-specific DNA-protein cross-linking with mass spectrometry to identify Tdp1 interactions with DNA. A conserved phenylalanine (F259) of Tdp1, required for efficient DNA processing in biochemical assays, cross-links to defined positions in DNA substrates. Crystal structures of Tdp1-DNA complexes capture the DNA repair machinery after 3'-end cleavage; these reveal how Tdp1 coordinates the 3'-phosphorylated product of nucleosidase activity and accommodates duplex DNA. A hydrophobic wedge splits the DNA ends, directing the scissile strand through a channel towards the active site. The F259 side-chain stacks against the -3 base pair, delimiting the junction of duplexed and melted DNA, and fixes the scissile strand in the channel. Our results explain why Tdp1 cleavage is non-processive and provide a molecular basis for DNA 3'-end processing by Tdp1.
酪氨酰-DNA磷酸二酯酶(Tdp1)是一种DNA 3'末端加工酶,可修复拓扑异构酶1B诱导的DNA损伤。我们使用一种将位点特异性DNA-蛋白质交联与质谱相结合的新工具来鉴定Tdp1与DNA的相互作用。Tdp1的一个保守苯丙氨酸(F259)在生化分析中对高效DNA加工是必需的,它与DNA底物中的特定位置发生交联。Tdp1-DNA复合物的晶体结构捕获了3'末端切割后的DNA修复机制;这些结构揭示了Tdp1如何协调核苷酶活性的3'-磷酸化产物并容纳双链DNA。一个疏水楔将DNA末端分开,引导可切割链通过一个通道朝向活性位点。F259侧链堆积在-3碱基对上,界定双链和熔解DNA的交界处,并将可切割链固定在通道中。我们的结果解释了为什么Tdp1切割是非连续性的,并为Tdp1进行DNA 3'末端加工提供了分子基础。
