Identification of three crucial histidine residues (His115, His132 and His297) in porcine deoxyribonuclease II.

Abstract excerpt

DNase II is an acid endonuclease that is involved in the degradation of exogenous DNA and is important for DNA fragmentation and degradation during cell death. In an effort to understand its catalytic mechanism, we constructed plasmids encoding nine different histidine (H)-to-leucine (L) mutants for porcine DNase II and examined the enzyme properties of the expressed mutant proteins. Of the mutants, all but H132L...
