Abstract

Tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP1) is a DNA repair enzyme that hydrolyzes the phosphotyrosyl linkage between 3'-DNA-protein crosslinks such as stalled topoisomerase 1 cleavage complexes (Top1cc). Here, we present a fluorescence-resonance-energy-transfer-(FRET) based assay to estimate modulation of TDP1 activity through arginine methylation. We describe steps for TDP1 expression and purification and estimating TDP1 activity using fluorescence-quenched probes mimicking Top1cc. We then detail data analysis of real-time TDP1 activity and screening of TDP1-selective inhibitors. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bhattacharjee et al. (2022). 1.
