Deoxyribonuclease II has been purified through five fractionation steps from the human lymphoblast cell line K562. Isolation included DEAE‐cellulose and heparin – agarose chromatography followed by fractionation on Mono‐S, Mono‐Q and Superose‐12 FPLC columns. In an extension of previous studies, deoxyribonuclease II was found to introduce a much higher proportion of single‐strand nicks relative to double‐strand breaks into supercoiled DNA than has been reported for linear DNA. Application of DNA sequencing techniques has further revealed a unique resistance of 3′ termini to hydrolysis by this enzyme.Deoxyribonuclease II cleaves at every available site along the duplexed portion of a paired oligonucleotide substrate with the exception of the last four nucleotides. Consistent with previous results, this deoxyribonuclease II is active at low pH in the absence of Mg2+and is not inhibited by EDTA, but complete inhibition is observed with 100 μM Fe3+. Likewise we confirmed the presence of 3′‐phosphoryl termini on the DNA cleavage products since they failed to function as primers for DNA synthesis catalyzid byEscherichia coliDNA polymerase I.
