Abstract
Deoxyribonuclease activities were examined in isoelectric focusing fractions of non-histone chromatin-associated and nucleoplasmic proteins of isolated nuclei of normal human and xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A, lymphoblastoid cells using parallel procedures. In the nucleoplasm of both cell lines, a very similar series of both DNA endo- and exo-nuclease activities were found; in chromatin a series of similar endonuclease but no exonuclease activites were present. Several differences were observed in the xeroderma pigmentosum cells, however, notably a striking increase in DNA endonuclease activity in a chromatin fraction at pI 4.6 against linear duplex DNA and a decrease in a chromatin endonuclease activity focusing at pI 7.8.
