Expression of human chromosome 2 ornithine decarboxylase gene in ornithine decarboxylase-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells.
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) belongs to a multigene family and some of these may very well be nonfunctional (pseudogenes). We isolated an ODC gene from a human chromosome 2-specific library and transfected the gene into ODC-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells to directly demonstrate that this ODC gene is functional and ODC is essential for cell proliferation. After screening 2.5 X 10(5) plaq...

متن کاملOrnithine decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase in trypanosomatids.
The production of polyamines has been shown to be an effective target for a drug against the West African form of sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. T. brucei belongs to the group of protozoan parasites classed as trypanosomatids. Parasitic species of this group are the causative agents of various tropical diseases besides African sleeping sickness, e.g. Chagas' disease (...
متن کاملRegulation of Adrenal Ornithine Decarboxylase
were not secondary to stimulation of steroidogenesis, since hydrocortisone had no effect on adrenal ornithine decarboxylase although it did stimulate activity of the enzyme in the liver and kidney. ACTH, given subcutaneously to hypophysectomized rats, induced striking increases in adrenal cyclic AMP levels within 15-30 min with a fall towards the base line in 1 h. Increases in ornithine decarbo...
