Simple and Fast DNA Based Sensor System for Screening of Small-Molecule Compounds Targeting Eukaryotic Topoisomerase 1

Background: Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 is a potential target of anti-parasitic and anti-cancer drugs. Parasites require topoisomerase 1 activity for survival and, consequently, compounds that inhibit topoisomerase 1 activity may be of interest. All effective topoisomerase 1 drugs with anti-cancer ac...

Parasites require topoisomerase 1 activity for survival and, consequently, compounds that inhibit topoisomerase 1 activity may be of interest. All effective topoisomerase 1 drugs with anti-cancer activity act by inhibiting the ligation reaction of the enzyme. Screening for topoisomerase 1 targeting drugs, therefore, should involve the possibility of dissecting which step of topoisomerase 1 activity is affected. Methods: Here we present a novel DNA-based assay that allows for screening of the effect of small-molecule compounds targeting the binding/cleavage or the ligation steps of topoisomerase 1 catalysis. This novel assay is based on the detection of a rolling circle amplification product generated from a DNA circle resulting from topoisomerase 1 activity. Results: We show that the binding/cleavage and ligation reactions of topoisomerase 1 can be investigated separately in the presented assay termed REEAD (C|L) and demonstrate that the assay can be used to investigate, which of the individual steps of topoisomerase 1 catalysis are affected by small-molecule compounds. The assay is gel-free and the results can be detected by a simple colorimetric readout method using silver-on-gold precipitation rendering large equipment unnecessary. Conclusion: REEAD (C|L) allows for easy and quantitative investigations of topoisomerase 1 targeting compounds and can be performed in non-specialized laboratories.K.V. thanks Aase and Ejnar Danielsens Fond, Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond and Edel and Wilhelm Daubenmerkls Almenvelgørende Fond; A.S. thanks the Basque Government for a formation contract.MDPI2021202120212021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/53077reponame:Addi.
