C-Jun Activation-Dependent Tumorigenic Transformation Induced Paradoxically by Overexpression or Block of S-Adenosylmethionine Decarboxylase
All mammalian cells absolutely require polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) for growth. Here we show that the overexpression of cDNA for S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), the main regulatory enzyme in the biosynthesis of higher polyamines, induces transformation of rodent fibroblasts when expressed in the sense or the antisense orientation. Both transformants were able...
متن کاملS - Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase Anthony
S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is a key enzyme for the synthesis of polyamines in mammals, plants and many other species that use aminopropyltransferases for this pathway. It catalyses the formation of S-adenosyl-1(methyl th io)-3-propylamine (decarboxyla ted S-adenosylmethionine), which is used as the aminopropyl donor. This is the sole function of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine. Its ...
متن کاملStructural Basis for Putrescine Activation of Human S-Adenosylmethionine Decarboxylase†‡
Putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) activates the autoprocessing and decarboxylation reactions of human S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), a critical enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. In human AdoMetDC, putrescine binds in a buried pocket containing acidic residues Asp174, Glu178, and Glu256. The pocket is away from the active site but near the dimer interface; however, a ser...
متن کاملS-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase of corn seedlings.
S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.50) has been purified 500-fold in 30% yield from the extract of etiolated corn seedlings (cv. Golden Crossbantam Bell). This preparation had a molecular weight of approximately 25,000. The K(m) value was 5 micromolar for S-adenosylmethionine. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), hydroxylamine, and sulfhydryl reagents (such as p-hydroxymercuriphenylsul...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase synthesis.
Treatment of Ehrlich ascites-tumour cells with 1-amino-oxy-3-aminopropane (AOAP), a potent inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, resulted in a marked decrease in cellular contents of putrescine and spermidine, concomitant with an arrest of cell growth. The activity of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) was greatly increased in cells treated with AOAP. This increase in AdoMetDC activi...
