A DNA endonuclease has been purified from eggs of Asterias forbesi by a simple four-step-purification procedure. The purified enzyme is at least 96% pure and is free of phosphatase, phosphodiesterase, and RNase. It has a pH optimum of 6.5 and does not require divalent cations. The enzyme produces 3'-phosphoryl and 5'-hydroxyl end groups. The products of exhaustive hydrolysis can be grouped in two fractions. The first fraction, 40%, contains a small amount of mononucleotides and di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleo-tides. The second fraction, 60%, contains oligonucleotides larger than hexanucleotides.

Human urine RNase was purified about 2000-fold. The preparation is free from phosphatase, phosphodiesterase and DNase activities. On electrophoresis through polyacrylamide gel at pH 8.3, it migrates toward the anode and stains with periodic acid-Schiff reagent, suggesting that it is acidic and glycoprotein in nature. Its isoelectric point is at pH 4.1. It has a molecular weight of about 21,500. It is thermostable at pH 4.2 and thermolabile at pH 8.5. It has a pH optimum at 6.5. It exhibits highest preference for cytidine 3'-phosphate linkages. Its activity on poly (C) is endonucleolytic. It cleaves poly (C) via intramolecular transphosphorylation. It has no action on cytidine 2': 3'-cyclic phosphate or uridine 2':3'-cyclic phosphate. Its rate of hydrolysis of poly (U) is less than 2% of that of poly C). Poly (A) and poly (G) are totally inert to its action. Its action on poly (C) is inhibited by poly (G), poly (A) and poly (U). It differs from bovine pancreatic Rnase A in its physical, chemical and catalytic properties. It is, however, similar to human serum and pancreatic RNase in all its properties, suggesting that pancreas is its likely source.

The DNAase in human urine was purified about 30-fold with a recovery of 28%. This involved DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography steps and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The enzyme required divalent cations such as Co2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ for activity, but Ca2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ were ineffective. EDTA and G-actin inhibited the reaction. The maximum activity was observed at pH 5.5 in acetate buffer plus Co2+ or Mg2+ and Ca2+. It had a molecular weight of approximately 38 000, estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and isoelectric point of around pH 3.9. The enzyme is an endonuclease which hydrolyzes native, double-stranded DNA about 3 to 4 times faster than thermally denatured DNA to produce 5'-phosphoryl- and 3'-hydroxyl-terminated oligonucleotides. The final preparation was free of non-specific acid and alkaline phosphatases, phosphodiesterase and ribonuclease activities.

The differentiation of rat liver lysosomal acid phosphatase, acid ATPase, acid phosphodiesterase, acid ribonuclease, and acid deoxyribonuclease was studied by isoelectric focusing. To prevent autolytic digestion, inhibitors of cathepsins and neuraminidase were used. The proportion of acidic forms of acid phosphatase, acid ATPase and acid phosphodiesterase was increased by the use of extraction medium containing 0.05% Triton X-100. To investigate the identity of acid ATPase and acid phosphodiesterase, the relative activities among the multiple forms of these enzymes, the acid phosphodiesterase/acid ATPase ratio at each activity peak, and the degree of enzyme inhibition by p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid were estimated. The results suggest that acid ATPase is not identical with acid phosphodiesterase. With extraction medium free of Triton X-100, acid ribonuclease appeared in two forms. However, in addition to these forms, a new form of this enzyme with a more acidic pI (4.22) emerged when extraction medium containing 0.05% Triton X-100 was used. The major peak of acid deoxyribonuclease with pI=8.40-9.39 was obtained regardless of the extracting method.

By sequential acid treatment, gel filtration and KM-cellulose sorption a 18--20-fold purified preparation of ribonuclease with a yield of 50--60% was obtained from the culture liquid filtrate of Actinomyces rimosus 994. The preparation had a high specific activity of 450,000--600,000 units/mg protein, contained 85--98% protein, insignificant amounts of carbohydrates and hydroxytetracycline, and no quantities of DNase, phosphomonoesterases, phosphodiesterase or proteases. In RNA degradation (preparation of the total yeast RNA of the Sigma Co.) optimal results were obtained at 50 degrees C and pH 7.0--7.2 in phosphate buffer and 7.6--8.0 IN Tris-HCl buffer. The preparation was stable at high temperatures (80--100 degrees) in the wide pH range and during storage in the lyophilized form and in buffer solutions. RNase effect was inhibited by zinc, copper, iron and cobalt cations and activated by beta-mercaptoethanol, citrate and EDTA. Protamine sulphate and urea in low concentrations (0.01% and 1--4 M, respectively) accelerated and in high concentrations (1% and 8 M, respectively) terminated the enzyme reaction. With respect to many properties RNase from Act. rimosus 994 was similar to extracellular RNases, produced by other actinomycetes and fungi.

An acid ribonuclease has been purified from HeLa cell lysosomes. The specific activity of the RNase in lysosomes is 8-fold higher than that in nuclei and 15-fold higher than that in the postlysosomal fraction. The purified enzyme showed no detectable DNase, phosphodiesterase, phosphatase, or alkaline RNase activity. The acid RNase binds to Con A-agarose and is inferred to be a glycoprotein. It has a low isoelectric point at pH 3.0 to 3.5, and the optimal pH for activity is between 5.0 and 5.5. The enzyme requires no divalent cation for optimal activity and is totally inhibited by 1 mM Cu2+ or Hg2+. Monovalent cations including Na+, K+, and NH4+ stimulate the activity in low ionic strength buffer. The enzyme degrades rRNA faster than tRNA, and tRNA faster than poly(U); poly(A) and poly(C) are highly resistant. The products from rRNA are mostly oligonucleotides with 3'-phosphate ends. An acid RNase is also present in the lysosomes of L-cells grown in a medium free of serum; it is probably identical to the one described here.

The paper describes a method for isolating alkaline ribonuclease from the culture liquid Bacillus subtilis KP 349 which involved: submerged cultivation of the producer on complex and synthetic nutrient media with optimized RNase activity, acid treatment of the total culture liquid, and filtration through perlite. Further treatment may include either spray drying of the culture liquid filtrate or its concentration in a vacuum evaporator, dialysis of the concentrate against distilled water, and dialyzate lyophilization. As a result, commercial RNase preparations with activities of 30--60 thous. and 160--300 thous. units/g, respectively, were obtained. The enzyme purification was carried out by chromatography and rechromatography on phosphocellulose columns. The resultant RNase of Bac. subtilis had a specific activity of 41--44 thous. units/mg protein, contained no nonspecific phosphodiesterase, DNase, acid or alkaline phosphomonoesterases.

Prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductase was purified from chicken heart by ammonium sulfate fractionation, and DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxylapatite and phosphocellulose chromatography. Two peaks of activity were resolved during the phosphocellulose chromatographic step. Both peaks were stimulated by a substance that was not bound to the phosphocellulose column. This stimulatory substance was destroyed by treatment with phosphodiesterase and 0.1 M NaOH. It was heat-stable (100 degrees, 2 min), nondialyzable, and resistant to treatment with pronase, ribonuclease, and deoxyribonuclease; but it was dialyzable after heating or digestion with pronase. Sodium pyrophosphate also enhanced the activities of the prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductases as did angiotensin I; but not angiotensin II. In the presence of 3':5'-cyclic AMP, AMP, or several other ribonucleotides, the enhancing effects of the natural stimulatory substance, sodium pyrophosphate or angiotensin I were blocked, but these ribonucleotides themselves had little effect on the enzymes activity. The substrate specificities of the two prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductases were also studied. Both the 9-keto group and the 15-keto group of 15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha could be converted to the corresponding hydroxyl group; the 15-keto group was reduced faster than the 9-keto group. Prostaglandin D2, a prostaglandin with a 9-hydroxyl and an 11-keto group, could not be converted to prostaglandin F2 alpha nor could cyclohexanone be converted to cyclohexanol by the prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductase.

We have perfused isolated rat livers with hypocalcemic (4.4 mg 100 ml) Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate albumin buffer. After 15 min of perfusion, a substance appeared in the perfusate which decreased rat renal adenylate cyclase activation by parathyroid hormone (PTH). The material in the perfusate was purified greater than 50,000-fold by Bio-Gel P-10 chromatography. The purified antagonist decreased the activation of rat renal cortical adenylate cyclase by PTH, glucagon, and epinephrine 75 to 100%. Concentration response curves for each of the hormones indicated a noncompetitive interaction of the inhibitor with the hormone. The inhibition was not species-specific, as the activation of the parathyroid hormone-responsive adenylate cyclase in cat renal cortex was also abolished by the inhibitor from the perfused rat liver. The inhibitor is a peptide, Mr equal to similar to 1000, which is heat-stable, acid-stable, alkai-labile, and is destroyed by trypsin, leucine aminopeptidase, and elastase. It is not destroyed by phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase, neuraminidase, RNase, or phospholipase A. The inhibitor is not produced by isolated rat livers perfused with normocalcemic perfusion media. It is unclear whether the peptide is synthesized by the liver or whether it is a breakdown product of a larger peptide or protein in the liver. This is the first reported peptide inhibitor of adenylate cyclase.

The addition of caffeine caused the accumulation of a new nucleotide compound simultaneously with the rigid inhibition of ribofalvin production in non-growing cells of Eremothecium ashbyii. In the present study we tried to identify the structure of the nucleotide compound using non-growing cells of the mold. 1) It became possible to obtain a large amount of mycelia by masscultivation in a reagent tank. 2) A new nucleotide compound, referred to as compound A in the paper, was extracted with perchloric acid solution and purified by the following subsequent procedures: 1) Dowex 1 x 2 (HCOO-) column, 2) charcoal treatment, 3) DEAE-Sephadex A25 (CI-) column, 4) Dowex 1 x 2 (C1-) column, and 5) DEAE-Sephadex A25 (HCO3-) column. 3) The structure of the new nucleotide compound was proved to be guanine ribonucleotidyl-(3'-5')-adenosine (GpA) from the results of the following analyses: 1) alkaline degradation, 2) UV-spectra, IR-spectra and NMR-spectra, and 3) enzymatic treatments with RNase T2 and phosphodiesterase. 4) The roles of caffeine and guanine ribonucleotidyl-(3'-5')-adenosine in connection with flavinogenesis of this mold were discussed.
