Popis: | An endonuclease that can act on calf thymus DNA and circular double-stranded phage PM2 DNA has been isolated from HeLa S3 cell chromatin. Approximately 200-fold purification was achieved by a sequence of subcellular fractionation, differential NaCl solubility and chromatography on CM-Sephadex, DEAE-cellulose and hydroxyapatite, and isoelectric focusing. The pH optimum of the enzyme is 7.0 ± 0.5 and the isoelectric point is pH 5.1 ± 0.2 . Divalent cations are necessary for its activity and the enzyme is heat inactivated at 60°C. The enzyme activity is sensitive to caffene and sulfhydryl reacting compounds. The molecular weight, determined by gel filtration and SDS gel electrophoresis, is approx. 22 000. |
