    A heat-sensitive factor obtained from lysates of competent Streptococcus sanguis cells reacts specifically with native DNA of heterospecific (S. pneumoniae or calf thymus) origin. In vitro it does not alter the double or single strand length of the DNA, nor does it affect uptake of the DNA by compentent S. pneumoniae cells in DNase I-resistant form. Following uptake, however, DNA previously exposed to the factor loses over 90% of its biological activity. Reaction of heterospecific DNA with the factor is competitive, suggesting a competition for binding to the factor. Heating treated DNA prior to its reaction with recipient cells, apparently by irreversibly dissociating the factor, restores to the DNA its original potential transforming activity. Specific activity of the factor can be increased in cells grown under certain conditions; this increase is blocked by erythromycin.
