CK2-Mediated Hyperphosphorylation of Topoisomerase I Targets Serine 506, Enhances Topoisomerase I–DNA Binding, and Increases Cellular Camptothecin Sensitivity
21 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase I is the target for a potent class of chemotherapeutic drugs derived from the plant alkaloid camptothecin that includes irinotecan and topotecan. In this study we have identified a novel site of CK2-mediated topoisomerase I (topo I) phosphorylation at serine 506 (PS506) that is relevant to topo I function and to cellular responses to these topo I-targeted drugs. CK2 treatment induced...
