ABSTRACT The nuclease halo mutant, nuh-4, of Neurospora crassa was identified conclusively as an allele of uvs-3, a gene involved in error-prone DNA repair. Like uvs-3, nuh-4 showed spontaneous mutator effects, and any previous contradictory findings were found to be due to newly arisen mutants. In normal strains the two alleles are noncomplementing and indistinguishable for sensitivity to UV and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Like uvs-3, nuh-4 lacked secretion of the extracellular enzyme, DNase A, a Ca++-dependent strand-nonspecific endonuclease which was found to be phosphate repressible. However, nuh-4 differed from uvs-3 in showing much higher conidial viability and lower sensitivity to ionizing radiation and mitomycin C.——Epistatic relationships of the two uvs-3 alleles with seven other MMS-sensitive mutants were determined and compared with those of the highly X-ray-sensitive mutant, uvs-6. Three epistatic groups were found, based on survival of double mutant strains relative to that of their component single mutant strains after treatment with MMS. Both, uvs-3 and nuh-4, were epistatic to mus-9 which also is a mutator. None of the three produced viable double mutants in crosses to uvs-6. On the other hand, uvs-6, but not the uvs-3 alleles, was found to be epistatic to mus-7 and mus-10. The excision-defective uvs-2 and mus-8 both showed synergism with the uvs-3 alleles and with uvs-6, forming a third, separate epistatic group.

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.
