The genetic effects of several concentrations of L–Asparaginase II (ASNase II), produced by Proteus vulgaris strain Pv.U92, at various levels of purification (ultrasonication, precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography) on cancer cells line of Hep–2 were studied. This bacterial enzyme with concentration 4 U/ml at gel filtration level was revealed a putative cytotoxicity against cancer cells in comparison with other concentrations and steps of purification were used in this work. Moreover, 4 U/ml of ASNase II at gel purification level has a distinguished role on arrest cancer cells division of Hep–2; it was reduced the content of DNA at each phase of cancer cell cycle particularly at G2/M phase, the level of DNA was 3%. On the other hand, the partial purified enzyme, L–ASNase II, was induced apoptosis by both levels of purification ion–exchange and gel filtration, the apoptotic fractionation was 0.86 and 0.7 respectively .
