Enhancement of DNA synthesis in a mammalian cell-free system by trypsin treatment.

DNA synthesis in a broken cellular preparation of Chinese hamster cells was enhanced approximately 10-fold by a brief trypsin treatment. Alphachymotrypsin also enhanced the synthesis, whereas Pronase did not. The trypsin appears to be acting on a component of the nucleus. Evidence suggests that the trypsin is not removing protein from the DNA, but may be activating the system some other way.
