Popis: Endonuclease activity with properties similar to those of the animal endonuclease G has been detected in extracts of rabbit liver mitochondria. This activity was detected in the fraction of proteins with molecular mass close to 30 kDa; it was stimulated by Mg2+ ions and inhibited by Zn2+ ions. In contrast to plant endonucleases WEN1 and WEN2, the rabbit endonuclease was not affected by methylation status of the substrate DNA, and S-adenosine-L-methionine inhibited it.
