Pyrrolidine and Putrescine Metabolism: y-Aminobutyraldehyde Dehydrogenase
A strain of Pseudomonas Jluorescens (ATCC 13430) was isolated which could utilize either pyrrolidine or putrescine as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for growth. An investigation of the metabolism of pyrrolidine by this organism (1) suggested Al-pyrroline (I) as the first product of pyrrolidine catabolism followed by y-aminobutyric acid (III). Enzymes which were induced by growt...
متن کاملMetabolism of [14C]spermidine and [14C]putrescine in normal volunteers and in cancer patients.
The administration of [14C]putrescine or [14C]spermidine (i.v., 100 muCi) to normal volunteers or patients with advanced cancer resulted in alpha-phase half-lives of 40 and 30 sec and beta-phase half-lives of 30 and 60 min, respectively. No significant differences were found between the plasma decay curves of normals and those of cancer patients. Urinary excretion was similar with both groups e...
متن کاملGenetic manipulation of the metabolism of polyamines in poplar cells. The regulation of putrescine catabolism.
We investigated the catabolism of putrescine (Put) in a non-transgenic (NT) and a transgenic cell line of poplar (Populus nigra x maximowiczii) expressing a mouse (Mus musculus) ornithine (Orn) decarboxylase (odc) cDNA. The transgenic cells produce 3- to 4-fold higher amounts of Put than the NT cells. The rate of loss of Put from the cells and the initial half-life of cellular Put were determin...
متن کاملEffects of down-regulating ornithine decarboxylase upon putrescine-associated metabolism and growth in Nicotiana tabacum L.
Transgenic plants of Nicotiana tabacum L. homozygous for an RNAi construct designed to silence ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) had significantly lower concentrations of nicotine and nornicotine, but significantly higher concentrations of anatabine, compared with vector-only controls. Silencing of ODC also led to significantly reduced concentrations of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermi...
متن کاملPutrescine uptake in saintpaulia petals.
Putrescine uptake and the kinetics of this uptake were studied in petals of Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl. Uptake experiments of [(3)H] or [(14)C] putrescine were done on single petals at room temperature at various pH values. The results show that putrescine uptake occurs against a concentration gradient at low external putrescine concentration (0.5-100 micromolar) and follows a concentration gra...
