Polyamine biosynthesis in <i>Xenopus laevis:</i> the gene xlAZIN2/xlODC2 encodes a lysine decarboxylase
2019-06-05
Abstract excerpt
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines, organic cations that are implicated in many cellular processes. The enzyme is regulated at the post-translational level by an unusual system that includes antizymes (AZs) and antizyme inhibitors (AZINs). Most studies on this complex regulatory mechanism have been focused on human and rodent cells, showing that AZINs (AZIN1 and AZIN2)...
