General annotation (Comments)

Function

Among other functions, seems to be involved in cell death by apoptosis. Binds specifically to G-actin and blocks actin polymerization By similarity.

Catalytic activity

Endonucleolytic cleavage to 5'-phosphodinucleotide and 5'-phosphooligonucleotide end-products.

Cofactor

Divalent cations. Prefers calcium or magnesium.

Subcellular location

Secreted. Nucleus envelope. Note: Secretory protein, stored in zymogen granules and found in the nuclear envelope.

Tissue specificity

Principally in tissues of the digestive system. Highest levels found in urine, but also relatively abundant in semen and saliva.

Polymorphism

At least 6 alleles of DNASE1 are known: DNASE1*1 to DNASE1*6. The sequence shown is that of DNASE1*2.

Involvement in disease

Defects in DNASE1 are a cause of susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [MIM:152700]. A chronic, inflammatory and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue. It affects principally the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. Ref.8

Pharmaceutical use

Available under the name Pulmozyme (Genentech). Used to reduce the viscosity of cystic fibrosis sputum by hydrolyzing the extracellular DNA released by degenerating leukocytes that accumulate in response to infection.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the DNase I family.
