Alpha-methyl ornithine, a potent competitive inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, blocks proliferation of rat hepatoma cells in culture.
A biphasic increase of putrescine concentration occurs in rat hepatoma tissue culture cells induced to proliferate. DL-alpha-Methyl ornithine, a competitive inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase ( L-ornithine carboxylyase, EC 4.1.1.7) of hepatoma tissue culture cells, blocks the usual increases of putrescine and spermidine concentrations in these cells, and causes a rapid fall in the levels of p...
متن کاملPurification from Escherichia coli of a periplasmic protein that is a potent inhibitor of pancreatic proteases.
A protein capable of inhibiting trypsin and other pancreatic proteases has been purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli by conventional procedures and affinity chromatography. It is stable for at least 30 min at 100 degrees C and pH 1.0, but it is inactivated by digestion with pepsin. The inhibitor has an apparent molecular weight of 38,000 as determined by gel filtration and must be a ho...
متن کاملThreonine 57 is required for the post-translational activation of Escherichia coli aspartate α-decarboxylase
Aspartate α-decarboxylase is a pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylase required for the production of β-alanine in the bacterial pantothenate (vitamin B5) biosynthesis pathway. The pyruvoyl group is formed via the intramolecular rearrangement of a serine residue to generate a backbone ester intermediate which is cleaved to generate an N-terminal pyruvoyl group. Site-directed mutagenesis of residues ad...
متن کاملA macromolecular inhibitor of the antizyme to ornithine decarboxylase.
A macromolecular factor that inhibits the activity of the antizyme to ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was found in rat liver extracts. The factor, 'antizyme inhibitor', was heat-labile, non diffusable and of similar molecular size to ODC. The antizyme inhibitor re-activated ODC that had been inactivated by antizyme, apparently by replacing ODC in a complex with antizyme. Therefore the antizyme in...
متن کاملHuman ornithine decarboxylase paralogue (ODCp) is an antizyme inhibitor but not an arginine decarboxylase.
ODC (ornithine decarboxylase), the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, is regulated by specific inhibitors, AZs (antizymes), which in turn are inhibited by AZI (AZ inhibitor). We originally identified and cloned the cDNA for a novel human ODC-like protein called ODCp (ODC paralogue). Since ODCp was devoid of ODC catalytic activity, we proposed that ODCp is a novel form of AZI. ODCp ...
