Abstract
Human DNA topoisomerase IIα is a biological nanomachine that regulates the topological changes of the DNA molecule and is considered a prime target for anticancer drugs. Despite intensive research, many atomic details about its mechanism of action remain unknown. We investigated the ATPase domain, a segment of the human DNA topoisomerase IIα, using all-atom molecular simulations, multiscale quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations, and a point mutation study. The results suggested that the binding of ATP affects the overall dynamics of the ATPase dimer. Reaction modeling revealed that ATP hydrolysis favors the dissociative substrate-assisted reaction mechanism with the catalytic Glu87 serving to properly position and polarize the lytic water molecule. The point mutation study complemented our computational results, demonstrating that Lys378, part of the important QTK loop, acts as a stabilizing residue. The work aims to pave the way to a deeper understanding of these important molecular motors and to advance the development of new therapeutics.
