An endonucleolytic activity is associated with purified PM(2) bacteriophages. It converts the double-stranded supercoiled PM(2) DNA mostly into the linear form that sediments as a homogenous peak in alkaline sucrose gradients. The same activity is found in intact or detergent-lysed phages. Optimal activity is observed between pH 6.8 and 7.5 at 28 degrees . Divalent cations, Mg(2+) or Mn(2+), are necessary for activity, and the enzyme is inhibited by RNA. The endonuclease has no appreciable activity on linear DNA molecules, but it attacks single-stranded circular DNA.
核酸内切酶活性与纯化的PM(2)噬菌体相关。它将双链超螺旋PM(2) DNA大部分转化为线性形式,该线性形式在碱性蔗糖梯度中沉降为单一峰。在完整的或经去污剂裂解的噬菌体中也发现了相同的活性。在28℃时,pH 6.8至7.5之间观察到最佳活性。二价阳离子Mg(2+)或Mn(2+)对活性是必需的,并且该酶受到RNA的抑制。这种核酸内切酶对线性DNA分子没有明显活性,但它会攻击单链环状DNA。
