A 175 kdalton (kDa) polypeptide is bound covalently to the chromosomal DNA fragments from mouse cells exposed to the intercalating agent 4'-[(9-acridinyl)-amino]methansulphon-m-anisidide. Electron microscopy shows a terminal protein on the DNA fragments, whose 5'-termini are blocked. Since the relative molecular mass of topoisomerase II polypeptide chains is also about 175 kDa and topoisomerase II inhibitors prevent intercalator-induced DNA fragmentation, we propose that the polypeptide bound covalently to the 5'-terminus of the DNA fragments is a polypeptide derived from frequently integrated topoisomerase II operating to normalize torsional stress resulting from intercalation.
