The method of analysis of enzymatic activity in polyacrylamide gel bases on high performance separation of proteins SDS-electrophoresis with their subsequent renaturation and detection of enzymatic activity. It was used for analysis of an expression of nucleases in cells in culture of lines HEK293; NIH/3T3; U937. It was found that in HEK293 cells were expressed nucleases with molecular weights 47 and 45 kDa. The localization of these nucleases in cell nuclei was shown as well. It was found, that the fractions of histones after denaturation are catalyzed of DNA degradation.


Keywords: Culture of cells, nuclei, nucleases, electrophoresis.
