Phosphorylation of human topoisomerase I by protein kinase C in vitro and in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-activated HL-60 promyelocytic leukaemia cells.
Topoisomerase I was phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C (PKC) purified from rat brain with high affinity (Km about 0.1 microM). Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping indicated that two major topoisomerase I peptides phosphorylated in vivo were comigrating with minor peptides phosphorylated by PKC in vitro. Topoisomerase I phosphorylation was stimulated 3-fold in HL-60 cells exposed to the tumour promoter phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. The results suggest that topoisomerase I phosphorylation in HL-60 cells is indirectly controlled by PKC.
