Purification and characterization of novel sulfotransferase obtained from Klebsiella K-36, an intestinal bacterium of rat.

abstract：:We have detected in rat liver cytosol three enzymes (termed C-1, C-2, and C-3) which cleaved the RNA moiety of RNA-DNA hybrid. These enzymes were separated from each other by DEAE-Sephadex and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. C-1 and C-2 specifically act on the RNA moiety of RNA-DNA hybrid, while C-3 degrades single-str...
