A DNA-binding protein was partially purified from extracts of HeLa cells by high-speed centrifugation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose and ultraviolet light-irradiated DNA-cellulose columns. It eluted from the phosphocellulose column with 0.375 M potassium phosphate and from the ultraviolet light-irradiated DNA-cellulose column between 0.5 M and 1 M NaCl. The protein binds preferentially to supercoiled PM2 DNA treated with ultraviolet light or N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene, as compared to native supercoiled PM2 DNA. The binding is non-cooperative. Nicked or linear forms of PM2 DNA (damaged or untreated) are not efficient substrates, indicating a requirement of DNA supercoiling for DNA binding. The sedimentation coefficient of the protein estimated by glycerol gradient centrifugation is 2.0-2.5 S, corresponding to a molecular weight of about 20000-25000 if the protein is spherical. The binding to DNA irradiated with ultraviolet light or treated with acetoxyacetylaminofluorene is optimal at around 100-200 mM NaCl and is relatively independent of temperature and pH. MgCl2 and MnCl2 at concentrations between 1 and 5 mM do not markedly affect the binding, but it is inhibited by sucrose, ATP and caffeine. The biological significance of the DNA-binding protein remains to be determined. It does not possess significant glycosylase, endonuclease or exonuclease activities. The dissociation equilibrium constant for the binding reaction of the protein to the ultraviolet light or acetoxyacetylaminofluorene-induced binding sites on DNA is estimated to be 4.10(-11) M. There are at least 1.10(5) DNA-binding protein molecules/HeLa cell.

The purification procedure for a nuclease from human serum is described. It includes ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex and on Sephacryl-S 200, and preparative electrophoresis. The enzyme purified about 2000-fold, is homogeneous in a sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretic system, where it has a mol. wt of 78,000. The pH optimum lies around pH 6.5; it is a sugar-nonspecific endonuclease.

Restriction endonuclease HindIII was purified from Haemophilus influenzae Rd. Two active fractions, P1 and P2, were obtained in phosphocellulose chromatography. HindIII could be purified completely from the first fraction, P1, by subsequent DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The second fraction, P2, showed HindIII activity higher than that of P1, though it was still contaminated with some minor proteins. The HindIII in P2 fraction showed differences in stability, binding to substrate DNA, electrophoretic mobility, etc., from the HindIII in P1 fraction. It is likely that there are two forms of HindIII in the bacterial cell. The endonuclease HindIII in P2 fraction was finally purified by DNA-cellulose chromatography, though considerable loss of enzymatic activity resulted. Upon infection of the cells with phage T4, the P2 fraction in phosphocellulose chromatography almost disappeared. The presence of two forms of HindIII may be related to bacterial defense against viral infection.

A new method for isolation and purification of restriction endonuclease SsoII which results in a homogeneous preparation suitable for all types of fine physico-chemical assays has been elaborated. The procedure includes four chromatographic steps: fractionation on butyl-Toyopearl, combined chromatography on SP-Toyopearl and phosphocellulose PII, and chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl and on QAE-Toyopearl. The use of fast flow sorbents (Toyopearl) makes it possible to reduce the time needed for the separation of proteins and to optimize the fractionation conditions, thus avoiding the dialysis between the chromatographic steps which significantly decreased the enzyme activity yields in previous purification schemes. The isolation of restriction endonuclease SsoII by the new method usually takes four days.

Isoforms of Serratia marcescens nuclease found in the natural nuclease produced by S. marcescens and in recombinant nuclease produced by Escherichia coli were structurally characterized by peptide mapping using plasma desorption mass spectrometry. The nuclease isoforms produced and secreted from S. marcescens B10M1, which are present in much greater amounts than in S. marcescens W225 nuclease produced by E. coli, were characterized completely and the information used to facilitate characterization of the recombinant nuclease isoforms. After purification of the nuclease the isoforms were separated on a DEAE-cellulose anion-exchange column and then digested with endoproteinase Lys-C. The peptides generated were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC and their molecular masses determined by plasma desorption mass spectrometry. Comparison of the peptides from the native nuclease, Sm2, and the two isoforms, Sm1 and Sm3, revealed that they differed only in the N-terminus, the latter being found to lack three amino acids in Sm1 and one amino acid in Sm3. No interior post-translational changes were found in either of the three isoforms. Using this information we were able to confirm that Sm1, the isoform lacking three amino acids, was also present in very small amounts in recombinant S. marcescens W225 nuclease produced and excreted by E. coli.

This work describes the purification and biochemical characterization of BstLVI restriction endonuclease, a thermostable isoschizomer of ClaI, from Bacillus stearothermophilus LV. The enzyme was purified by successive DEAE-cellulose, Affi-Gel Blue and Heparin-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. A molecular weight of 37,000 was determined for Bst LVI by gel filtration. As expected from thermophilic proteins, the enzyme showed a high stability towards heat and also to other known protein-denaturing agents.

Purification and characterization of a DNA repair enzyme having 5' apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease activity are reported. The enzyme extracted from mouse ascites sarcoma (SR-C3H/He) cells with 0.2 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) was purified by successive chromatographies on phosphocellulose, DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose (a second time) and single-stranded DNA cellulose, and by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The purified enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. It was shown to have nicking activity on acid-depurinated DNA but not on intact DNA, and to have priming activities for DNA polymerase on acid-depurinated DNA and bleomycin-treated DNA. The results indicate that it is a multifunctional DNA repair enzyme having 5' AP endonuclease and DNA 3' repair diesterase activities. The enzyme activity is dependent upon the presence of a divalent cation such as Mg2+. Its amino-terminal amino acid and internal amino acid sequences are determined.

A filter binding assay that measures internucleosomal DNA fragmentation associated with apoptosis is described. The assay is based on a novel principle that consists of using simultaneously two kinds of glass fiber filters to harvest [3H]thymidine-prelabeled cells following their incubation with inducers of apoptosis. One filter, which is neutral, traps intact chromatin and high-molecular-weight DNA. The other filter, which is positively charged with DEAE active groups, traps low-molecular-weight DNA fragments. DNA fragmentation is quantified by measuring the radioactivity retained by each of the filters. The assay was evaluated with the histiocytic lymphoma cell line U937 and the topoisomerase inhibitors camptothecin, etoposide, and doxorubicin. These agents caused a dose-dependent decrease of radioactivity in the neutral filter and a parallel increase of radioactivity in the DEAE filter. Irradiation-induced single strand breaks and topoisomerase-mediated primary DNA damage were not detected by this method. Consistent with the detection of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, the effects measured by this assay were prevented by the endonuclease inhibitor zinc acetate and by the metabolic inhibitor sodium azide. Results obtained using this assay were validated by observation of DNA ladders on agarose gels and by morphologic examination of apoptotic features. Evaluation of the assay in a mock screen demonstrated that the introduction of the DEAE filter increases the assay sensitivity and eliminates false positives. Thus, this assay may be used in high-throughput screening approaches to discover novel modulators of apoptosis.

A new restriction endonuclease was isolated from the Bacillus cereus BKM B-814 by means of the cell disruption with ultrasonication, ammonium sulfate fractionation of the cell-free extract, and chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose to give about 1400 U of the enzyme per gram of cells. The enzyme revealed the maximum activity at 30-37 degrees C, pH 7.6-8.2, and 5-10 mM MgCl2 under a high ionic strength (50 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM NaCl). The site-specific endonuclease BcuAI was found to recognize the 5' G decreases G(A/T)CC sequence in double-stranded DNA and cleave it as shown with the arrow, thus being a true isoschisomer of the AvaII restriction endonuclease.

The genes encoding the AatII restriction endonuclease and methylase from Acetobacter aceti have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequences of aatIIM and aatIIR genes were determined. The aatIIM and aatIIR genes are 996 bp and 1038 bp, respectively, encoding the 331-aa methylase with a predicted molecular mass of 36.9 kDa, and the 345-aa AatII restriction endonuclease with a predicted molecular mass of 38.9 kDa. The two genes overlap by 4 base pairs and are transcribed in the same orientation. The aatIIRM genes are located next to a putative gene for plasmid mobilization. A stable overproducing strain was constructed, in which the aatIIM gene was expressed from a pSC101-derived plasmid. The aatIIR gene was inserted into a modified T7 expression vector that carries transcription terminators upstream from the T7 promoter. The recombinant AatII restriction endonuclease was purified to near homogeneity by chromatography through DEAE Sepharose, Heparin Sepharose, and phosphocellulose columns.
