DNA/RNA
Note
The sequence is split into 21 exons over 85kbp. Introns are 0.2-30 kbp in size.

The star denotes intron 7 where chromosome translocation occurs.
Description
21 exons with 20 introns
Transcription
3.8 kb (single band)
Pseudogene
2 pseudogenes. TOP1P1 on chromosome 1q23-q24, and TOP1P2 on chromosome 22q12-q13.1.
Proteins
Note
type I DNA topoisomerase, EC (5.99.1.2)

The arrow indicates the breaking point of translocation, and the star denotes the sites of point mutation.
Description
765 amino acids, about 100kDa; contains NLS in the N-term, a core domain which recognizes its binding sequences, a link domain which connects the core and catalytic domains, and the catalytic domain in the C-term.
Expression
Ubiquitous. The expression level is up-regulated along with cell proliferation signals.
Localisation
Nucleus
Function
TOP1 catalyzes the breaking and rejoining of single DNA strand.
Homology
The core and catalytic domains are conserved between the human and S.cerevisiae enzyme.
Mutations
Somatic
Translocation of chromosome t(11;20)(p15;q12) has been reported in hematological malignancies (see below).
Point mutations with amino acid substitution in the catalytic domain have been implicated in irinotecan-resistance.
Point mutations with amino acid substitution in the catalytic domain have been implicated in irinotecan-resistance.
Implicated in
Entity name
Disease
de novo acute myeloid leukemia, acute monocytic leukemia, therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome/leukemia(t-MDS/AML)
Prognosis
poor (?)
Hybrid gene
NUP98/TOP1

Oncogenesis
NUP98-TOP1 fusion protein has been proved to have leukemogenic activities independent of topoisomerase activity.
Breakpoints

The breakpoints locate in intron 7, causing the fusion protein to lack the N-terminal 169 amino acids.The breakpoints locate in the repetitive elements or close to them which exist in intron 7 of TOP1 gene.
