Purification and partial characterization of deoxyribonuclease I from bovine parotid gland

R. L. Lundblad, S. Hoffman, C. M. Noyes and H. S. Kingdon

Deoxyribonuclease I has been purified from bovine parotid gland. The purification procedure utilizes an acid extraction of minced parotid gland, salt fractionation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. The last step, chromatography on Sulfopropyl-Sephadex, resolves the enzymatic activity into several fractions. The major fraction, designated DNase A, was subjected to further investigation. This enzyme has, as expected, an alkaline pH optimum and an obligate requirement for divalent cations. The presence of calcium chloride protects DNase A from inactivation by proteolytic enzymes. Despite the previously described immunologic dissimilarity, there appears to be a large amount of homology between the parotid and pancreatic DNase's.
