Application

DNase II from Sigma has been used to treat transformed cells during the purification of β-lactamase. It has also been used for the preparation of adenoma tissue in a study that investigated the effect of somatoprim on growth hormone secretion in human adenoma cell cultures (hSA).
Deoxyribonuclease II from porcine spleen has been used in an immunohistological study of the immune system cells in paraffin-embedded tissues. Deoxyribonuclease II from porcine spleen has also been used in a study to investigate its reassociation with the lysosomal membrane.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The enzyme is a lysosomal acid hydrolase that hydrolyzes DNA to 3′-phosphoryl oligonucleotides in the absence of metal ions, under acidic conditions. It is a non-covalently linked α·β heterodimer of approximately 45,000 Da molecular mass.

Unit Definition

One Kunitz unit will produce a ΔA260 of 0.001 per min per mL at pH 4.6 at 25°C; [Mg2+] = 0.83 mM

The distribution of different cells of the immune system has been studied in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from conventionally reared healthy pigs, using immunohistological techniques. The samples collected were: lungs, tonsils, lymph nodes (mediastinal, mesenteric, inguinal and submandibular), pancreas, spleen, liver

Porcine spleen DNase II, a lysosomal acid hydrolase, is a noncovalently linked alpha.beta heterodimer (Liao, T.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 10708-10713). The alpha subunit, after disulfide cleavage, yields two chains, alpha1 and alpha2. The complete amino acid sequences of

13C-NMR spectroscopy was used to estimate the p K a values for the Tyr(150) (Y150) residue in wild-type and mutant class C beta-lactamases. The tyrosine residues of the wild-type and mutant lactamases were replaced with (13)C-labelled L-tyrosine ([ phenol -4-(13)C]tyrosine)

An acid DNase (DNase II) from porcine spleen was purified by sequential chromatography over carboxymethyl-cellulose, blue dextran-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite, and sulfoxyethyl-cellulose. The purified enzyme shows two polypeptide bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at Mr 35,000 (alpha chain) and 10,000

Somatostatin analogues (SSA) reduce autonomous GH secretion by activating somatostatin receptors (sst) 2 and 5 in 50-60% of acromegalic patients. However, by inhibiting insulin secretion these SSA reduce glucose tolerance. DG3173 is a novel SSA with additional binding to sst4
