| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the tonsil, spleen, lymph node, thymus, skin, pancreas, testis, colon, kidney, liver, brain and lung. Also found in high-grade lymphomas, squamous cell lung tumors and seminomas. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation has no effect on catalytic activity. However, phosphorylation at Ser-1106 by CSNK1D/CK1 promotes DNA cleavable complex formation. (Microbial infection) Deubiquitinated by Epstein-Barr virus BPLF1.leading to stabilized SUMOylated TOP2A trapped in cleavage complexes, which halts the DNA damage response to TOP2A-induced double-strand DNA breaks. SUMOylated. |
| Function | Key decatenating enzyme that alters DNA topology by binding to two double-stranded DNA molecules, generating a double-stranded break in one of the strands, passing the intact strand through the broken strand, and religating the broken strand. May play a role in regulating the period length of BMAL1 transcriptional oscillation. |
