We analyzed the interaction between polyamines and the outer membrane of Escherichia coli cells using potentiometric measurements with Ca(2+), tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP(+)), and K(+) electrodes. The Ca(2+) electrode was used to examine the ability of the polyamines to release Ca(2+) from the outer membrane. The TPP(+) electrode was used to examine the ability to permeabilize the outer membran...
Polyamines are required for maintenance of intestinal epithelial integrity, and a decrease in cellular polyamines increases the cytoplasmic levels of RNA-binding protein HuR stabilizing p53 and nucleophosmin mRNAs, thus inhibiting IEC (intestinal epithelial cell) proliferation. The AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), an enzyme involved in responding to metabolic stress, was recently found to b...
Cancers are one of the main causes of human deaths globally. Great effort has been dedicated to the search for sensitive and specific markers of cancer. Polyamines including mainly putrescine (PUT), spermidine (SPD), and spermine (SP), are promising tumor markers since their excretion is frequently elevated in patients with various types of cancers. In the present study, we developed an efficie...
The Gram-negative intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila replicates in a membrane-bound compartment known as the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), into which it abundantly releases its chaperonin, HtpB. To determine whether HtpB remains within the LCV or reaches the host cell cytoplasm, we infected U937 human macrophages and CHO cells with L. pneumophila expressing a translocation rep...
Polyamines are essential cell constituents for all organisms. The present review highlights important differences in the synthesis, degradation, and interconversion of polyamines between the protozoan parasites (Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, Cryptosporidium parvum and Trichomonas vaginalis) and their mammalian hosts. Approaches include development of mono- and di-substituted polyamine ...
Polyamines are involved in the processes of cell migration and proliferation that result in the repair of mucosal lesions. Depletion of polyamines dramatically alters the arrangement of the cytoskeleton, EGF receptor function, the activities of signal transduction proteins, the levels of several protooncogenes, and the expression and cellular content of at least one growth factor involved in th...
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved proteins that play a role in cytoprotection and maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Glutamine is essential for the optimal induction of intestinal epithelial Hsp expression, but its mechanisms of action are incompletely understood. Glutamine is a substrate for polyamine synthesis and stimulates the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a key ...

Putrescine and spermidine uptake into carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells in culture was studied. The time course of uptake showed that the two polyamines were very quickly transported into the cells, reaching a maximum absorption within 1 minute. Increasing external polyamine concentrations up to 100 millimolar showed the existence of a biphasic system with different affinities at low and high pol...
BACKGROUND The thermodynamics of the base pair specificity of the binding of the polyamines spermine, spermidine, putrescine, and cadaverine with three genomic DNAs Clostridium perfringens, 27% GC, Escherichia coli, 50% GC and Micrococcus lysodeikticus, 72% GC have been studied using titration calorimetry and the data supplemented with melting studies, ethidium displacement and circular dichroi...
