In our earlier studies we observed that cells treated with the anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT), topoisomerase I (topo I), is rapidly multi-ubiquitinated and destroyed by 26S proteasome.1 Many tumor cells are found to be defective in this process. Recently, we have also reported that topoisomerase I is conjugated to another ubiquitin-like protein, SUMO-1 (small ubiquitin modifiers), in response to CPT treatment.2 Here we report upregulation of yet another ubiquitin-like protein in many tumor cells. This protein is identified as the interferon-inducible protein called ISG15 (interferon-stimulatory gene product 15) or UCRP (ubiquitin cross-reactive protein) using antiserum specific to UCRP in Western blot analysis. Interestingly, UCRP was greatly elevated in the cell line transformed with SV40 T-antigen (2RA), but not in its untransformed parental cell line, WI38, suggesting that accumulation of UCRP might be related to oncogenic transformation. We also observed a correlation between CPT hypersensitivity and UCRP upregulation in a panel of colorectal and breast cancer cell lines. By contrast, SUMOylation of topo I is not significantly different in these cancer cell lines. UCRP is a 15-kD protein and is composed of two domains, each of which bears striking homology to ubiquitin.3 These two domains are linked to each other with insertion of an extra proline residue at the junction.3 It was found to be induced upon interferon treatment.3 Induction of this protein is correlated with the appearance of resistance to viral infections.3 Interestingly, UCRP is constitutively elevated in humans with the inherited disease ataxia telangiectasia as a result of constitutive activation of NFκB.4 SUMO-1 is also a 15-kD protein and has an 18% sequence similarity to ubiquitin.5 Both SUMO-1 and UCRP are conjugated to target substrates in a way similar but not identical to that of ubiquitin.3,5 It is well demonstrated that ubiquitin-conjugated substrates are targeted for destruction by 26S proteasome,5 but the function of SUMO-1 and UCRP conjugation to the target protein has not yet been understood. It has been proposed that SUMO-1 conjugation is required for cellular trafficking or for antagonizing ubiquitination in order to prevent its target destruction.6 Whether SUMO-1 conjugation to topo I upon CPT treatment is to facilitate or to prevent its
