  • Title: [Multiple forms of DNA-ase activity in the nuclei of spleen lymphocytes].
    Author: Kharchenko EP.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1979 Apr; 87(4):308-11. PubMed ID: 435623.
    Abstract:
    The nuclei of spleen lymphocytes showed nuclease activity becoming manifest under conditions optimal for different types of DNA-ase (DNA-ase I, DNA-ase II, micrococcal nuclease and Ca, Mg-dependent endonuclease). No diversity of nuclease activity was found in the liver or kidney nuclei. A high nuclease activity in the lymphocyte nuclei provides for a deeper endonucleolysis of the lymphocyte chromatin as compared to that in the liver nuclei. The variety of nucleic activity and more advanced chromatin endonucleolysis in the spleen lymphocyte nuclei may be associated with rapid cell renewal of the lymphocyte pool in lymphoid organs and with necessity for autolysis of degraded lymphocyte genome. It may also ensure the somatomutagenic mechanism of diverse V-genes and of V- and C-gene combination.
