In order to identify the different DNAases present in the lens differentiating tissue, we have used an assay which reveals their activity directly on DNA-containing gels after SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. DNAase renaturation from nuclear embryonic lens extracts does not occur after separation in 0.1% SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in contrast to that observed with purified micrococcal nuclease. When the SDS concentration in the running buffer and separating gel is decreased to 0.075%, renaturation of lens DNAase and enzyme activities are observed. Isoelectrofocusing was carried out in a polyacrylamide gel which was overlaid with an agarose gel containing DNA, permitting the visualization of the pI of DNAase activity. The presence of several DNAase isoenzymes was demonstrates in 11-day embryonic lenses. In epithelial lens nuclei, high molecular weight (MW) isoenzymes with basic pI were predominant. In post-mitotic fiber lens nuclei, two lower MW isoenzymes with acidic pI were detected as well as a high MW activity with a basic pI.
