Application

Nuclease from Staphylococcus aureus has been used in a study to assess coagulase and heat-resistant strains found in animals. It has also been used in a study to investigate the expression characteristic of two genes in S. aureus that encode two thermostable nucleases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cleavage of DNA by Nuclease micrococcal is greater at the 5′ sides of A or T nucleotides than at G or C.
Hydrolyzes 5′-phosphodiester bonds of DNA.

Other Notes

Note: One μmolar unit = approx. 85 A260 units, where an A260 unit is equivalent to a ΔA260 of 1.0 in 30 min at pH 8.8 at 37 °C in a 3.55 mL reaction volume. Light path = 1 cm.
One unit will produce 1.0 μmole of acid soluble polynucleotides from native DNA per min at pH 8.8 at 37 °C, based on EM/260 = 10,000 for the mixed nucleotides.

Thermonuclease is known as a specific virulence factor in Staphylococcus aureus. It is widely used as a genetic marker for detection of S. aureus in various types of food. Previous studies have revealed the existence of two functional thermostable nucleases

The substrate specificity of micrococcal nuclease (EC 3.1.4.7.) has been studied. The enzyme recognises features of nucleotide composition, nucleotide sequence and tertiary structure of DNA. Kinetic analysis indicates that the rate of cleavage is 30 times greater at the 5'

The time required to fold proteins usually increases significantly under conditions of high pressure. Taking advantage of this general property of proteins, we combined P-jump experiments with NMR spectroscopy to examine in detail the folding reaction of staphylococcal nuclease (SNase)

The interplay between chromatin structure and DNA topology is a fundamental, yet elusive, regulator of genome activities. A paradigmatic case is the "linking number paradox" of nucleosomal DNA, which refers to the incongruence between the near two left-handed superhelical turns
