| deoxyribonuclease I | <enzyme> An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerised DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyses endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| deoxyribonuclease II | An endonuclease that cleaves both strands of native DNA (as well as single-stranded DNA) to produce a mixture of oligodeoxynucleotides, each ending in a 3'-phosphate. Synonym: acid deoxyribonuclease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid deoxyribonuclease | An endonuclease that cleaves both strands of native DNA (as well as single-stranded DNA) to produce a mixture of oligodeoxynucleotides, each ending in a 3'-phosphate. Synonym: acid deoxyribonuclease. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pancreatic deoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerised DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyses endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| caspase-activated deoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> Degrades DNA during apoptosis, inhibited by icad (inhibitor of cad); a protein of 343 amino acids carrying a nuclear localization signal. Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: cad enzyme, caspase-activated dnase (26 Jun 1999) |
| spleen deoxyribonuclease | Former name for micrococcal endonuclease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| novel human deoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> 45% identical to dnase i. Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: nhdnase (26 Jun 1999) |
| deoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> An endonuclease with preference for DNA. Pancreatic DNAse I yields di and oligo nucleotide 5_ phosphates, pancreatic DNAse II yields 3_ phosphates. In chromatin, the sensitivity of DNA to digestion by DNAse I depends on its state of organisation, transcriptionally active genes being much more sensitive than inactive genes. Acronym: DNAase (10 Nov 1998) |

| deoxyribonuclease ecori | <enzyme> One of the type II site-specific deoxyribonucleases (ec 3.1.21.4). It recognises and cleaves the sequence g/aattc at the slash. Ecori is from e coliry13. Several isoschizomers have been identified. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyribonuclease hindiii | <enzyme> One of the type II site-specific deoxyribonucleases (ec 3.1.21.4). It recognises and cleaves the sequence a/agctt at the slash. Hindiii is from haemophilus influenzae r(d). Numerous isoschizomers have been identified. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyribonuclease hpaii | <enzyme> One of the type II site-specific deoxyribonucleases (ec 3.1.21.4). It recognises and cleaves the sequences c/cgg and ggc/c at the slash. Hpaii is from haemophilus parainfluenzae. Several isoschizomers have been identified. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyribonuclease S1 | <enzyme> An enzyme cleaving RNA or DNA to 5'-ended mono-or oligonucleotides; prefers single stranded polynucleic acids. Synonym: deoxyribonuclease S1. (05 Mar 2000) |
