TDP1 belongs to the phospholipase D (PLD) superfamily, containing two HKD signature motifs. Mutagenesis of the invariant histidines and lysines confirmed these residues are essential for activity. The reaction proceeds via a covalent phospho-enzyme intermediate, where the cleaved substrate is transiently linked to the enzyme, consistent with phosphoryl transfer chemistry common to PLD superfamily members. |

Crystal structure of human TDP1 at 1.69 Å resolution reveals a monomer composed of two similar domains related by pseudo-2-fold symmetry, each contributing conserved histidine, lysine, and asparagine residues to form a single active site. Structure confirms membership in the PLD superfamily and provides insights into substrate binding of the protein-DNA substrate. |

A homozygous H493R mutation in TDP1's active site causes SCAN1. His493 is conserved and located in the active site; protein modeling predicts the arginine substitution disrupts the symmetric active site structure, leading to loss of TDP1 function and neurodegeneration in postmitotic neurons. |

TDP1 also possesses 3'-exonuclease activity removing a single nucleoside from 3'-OH ends, and can remove 3'-abasic sites and 3'-biotin adducts, indicating a broad spectrum of 3'-end processing substrates including phosphotyrosine, phosphohistidine, phosphoglycolate, and abasic sites. |

PARP1 plays a critical role in directing Top1cc repair via TDP1. The N-terminal domain of TDP1 directly binds the C-terminal domain of PARP1 (demonstrated by domain mapping). TDP1 is PARylated by PARP1; PARylation stabilizes TDP1 (together with SUMOylation) and enhances TDP1 recruitment to DNA damage sites without affecting catalytic activity. TDP1-PARP1 complexes in turn recruit XRCC1. TDP1 and PARP1 are epistatic in DT40 double-knockout cells. |
