“…(2, 13, 16). Various polyamines were also found in plants (1,11,14).In animal cells, the polyamine putrescine is formed from Lornithine by ODC3 (2,12). In plants, however, the accepted notion is that putrescine is formed from arginine by ADC via agmatine (11,14,15).…”

“…There have been relatively few studies, of their specificity with respect to the amine acceptors and some of the published literature is contradictory. Formation of sym-norspermine and sym-norspermidine by addition of aminopropyl groups to 1,3-diaminopropane occurs with enzymes isolated from thermophilic bacteria (De Rosa et al, 1978) and Euglena gracilis (Aleksijevic et al, 1979), but indirect evidence suggested that 1,3-diaminopropane was inactive with the enzyme from rat prostate (Hibasami & Pegg, 1978b). It has been claimed that 1,5-diaminopentane (cadaverine) is not a substrate for mammalian spermidine synthase (Kallio et al, 1977;Samejima & Nakazawa, 1980), whereas indirect evidence that, this diamine was a substrate was published by Hibasami & Pegg (1978a,b) and it is known to be converted into N-(3-aminopropyl)cadaverine by the enzyme from Escherichia coli (Dion & Cohen, 1972;Bowman et al, 1973).…”

“…Ornithine decarboxylase in hyphae Achlya ornithine decarboxylase exhibited many properties in common with the enzyme from other fungi (Mitchell & Rusch, 1973;Brawley & Ferro, 1979;Aleksijevic et al, 1979;Inderlied et al, 1980) and higher eukaryotes (Janne & Williams-Ashman, 1970, and references therein). Pyrixodal phosphate stimulated enzyme activity in crude extracts and the apparent Km for the cofactor was 0.02 mM.…”
