A deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) which is induced in KB cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was purified approximately 175-fold using affinity, hydrophobic, adsorption, and ion-exchange chromatography techniques. Of the nucleoside triphosphates commonly found in DNA and RNA, only dUTP acted as a substrate for the enzyme, and the apparent Km was 4 microM. While the HSV-1-induced dUTPase exhibited activity in the absence of added divalent cations, the activity was stimulated by Mg2+ and inhibited by EDTA. The inhibition caused by EDTA was reversed by Mg2+, Co2+, or Mn2+. The HSV-1-induced dUTPase was also inhibited by hydroxymercuribenzoate and to a lesser degree by pyrophosphate but not by orthophosphate. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 53,000, and its isoelectric point was 5.8. The enzyme exhibited maximal activity over the pH range of 6.5-8.5. The enzyme was thermolabile at 45 degrees C, exhibiting a t1/2 of 35 min. The HSV-1-induced dUTPase was distinguishable from the KB dUTPase by its elution pattern on the various chromatography matrixes, isoelectric point, migration in polyacrylamide gels, thermostability, and response to divalent cations.
