Abstract
By means of DNA-cellulose chromatography an enzyme with endonucleolytic activity has been isolated from nuclear acidic protein fraction of mammalian cells. The main active fraction, eluted at 0.7 M NaCl, effects the velocity sedimentation of UV-irradiated and alkylated DNA, resulting in a decrease of the molecular weight. The fraction is completely inactive using native as well as heat-denatured DNA.
