The antibiotic protein, neocarzinostatin, induces the scission of DNA strands in vivo and in vitro. HeLa cell DNA prelabelled with [14 C] thymidine is cut into large pieces with a peak at 80–90S when cells are incubated with 0.5 to 5.0 μg/ml of highly purified neocarzinostatin. Incubation of the antibiotic (0.5 μg/ml) with [3 H] SV40 DNA in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol results in the conversion of superhelical DNA I to nicked circular duplex DNA II. At high levels of drug, smaller fragments of linear DNA are produced. Strand breaks are detected in both neutral and alkaline sucrose gradients, indicating that drug susceptibility is not due to alkali-labile bonds.
