摘要: Abstract A nuclease highly active on denatured DNA or RNA has been purified 8,600-fold from the smut fungus Ustilago maydis. The molecular weight of enzyme is 42,000 as determined by gel filtration. Added divalent cations are not required for activity. Ethylenediaminetetraacetate strongly inhibits activity, but simultaneous addition an excess Zn2+ Co2+ reverses inhibition. Other inhibitors include potassium phosphate, 2-mercaptoethanol, and ATP. a low level activity native DNA. Certain mutant strains which unable to carry out allelic recombination have reduced amounts enzyme. Therefore, this may play some role in organism.
