A protein extracted and partially purified (about 100-fold) from mouse liver is able to inhibit the acid DNases from different tissues and species, whereas pancreatic DNase and E. coli endonuclease I are not inhibited. The acid DNase displays typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics in the absence of this inhibitor, but the kinetics become sigmoidal in its presence. The existence of a DNase-inhibitor complex is demonstrated by physicochemical experiments. Moreover, the inhibitor is able to reactivate the DNase treated by urea, probably through a reassociation of the inactive monomers to a dimeric state. An allosteric model in which the DNase-inhibitor complex is composed of catalytic (DNase) and regulatory (inhibitor) subunits could explain these data.
从小鼠肝脏中提取并部分纯化(约100倍)的一种蛋白质能够抑制来自不同组织和物种的酸性脱氧核糖核酸酶,而胰腺脱氧核糖核酸酶和大肠杆菌内切核酸酶I则不受抑制。在没有这种抑制剂的情况下,酸性脱氧核糖核酸酶表现出典型的米氏动力学,但在其存在时动力学变为S形。通过物理化学实验证明了脱氧核糖核酸酶-抑制剂复合物的存在。此外,该抑制剂能够使经尿素处理的脱氧核糖核酸酶重新激活,可能是通过无活性单体重新缔合形成二聚体状态。一种变构模型,其中脱氧核糖核酸酶-抑制剂复合物由催化(脱氧核糖核酸酶)和调节(抑制剂)亚基组成,可以解释这些数据。
