    A ribonuclease H, an enzyme that specifically degrades the RNA moiety of RNA-DNA hybrid, has been partially purified from rat liver nuclei and characterized. Neither native or denatured DNA, nor single or double-stranded synthetic polyribonucleotides were degraded by the enzyme. The enzyme possesses a molecular weight of about 36,000 and requires alkaline pH, magnesium ions, and ammonium sulphate for maximum activity. The enzyme acts on the hybrid as an endonuclease, resulting in oligonucleotides with 3'-hydroxyl termini. The properties of this enzyme were distinct from those of the rat liver cytosol enzyme reported by Roewekamp and Sekeris in many respects, such as molecular weight, optimal pH and requirements for divalent cations. Preliminary experiments suggest that the nuclear enzyme is localized in the nucleoplasm and nucleoli. These results indicate that multiple forms of ribonuclease H exist in different regions of rat liver cells.
