Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The properties of intracellular RNase in disintegrated cell suspensions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been studied. The influence of salt addition and/or incubation of the suspension on the activity of RNase and on the degradation of endogenous RNA was determined. No significant change in the RNase activity in the disintegrated suspensions was obtained by addition of 3% NaCl or by incubation at 50 degrees C with 3% NaCl. During the incubation with NaCl the active RNase was able to degrade endogenous RNA. By incubation without salt the RNase was inactivated. Inactivation also occurred after extraction at alkaline pH. The RNase had an optima at pH 5-6 and temperatures between 50-60 degrees C. The main part of the RNase in the unincubated suspension was soluble also at pH 4.0. No serious protein degradation occurred during the short time incubation needed for RNA reduction. 70% of the protein in the suspensions was recovered in the precipitate at pH 4.0 after 20 min of incubation. The corresponding protein recovery from unincubated suspensions was 77%.
