Polyamines directly promote antizyme-mediated degradation of ornithine decarboxylase by the proteasome [PDF]
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a ubiquitin-independent substrate of the proteasome, is a homodimeric protein with a rate-limiting function in polyamine biosynthesis.

Putrescine alleviates cold injury in peach fruit via elevating the conjugated polyamines in tonoplast and thereby maintaining vacuole conformation [PDF]
Exogenous polyamines can elevate postharvest fruit cold resistance and alleviate cold injury. However, the mechanism, by which polyamines mediate cold tolerance, is still to be explored.

Polyamines and apoptosis [PDF]
The natural polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are in multiple ways involved in cell growth and the maintenance of cell viability. In the course of the last 15 years more and more evidence hinted also at roles in gene regulation. It is therefore not surprising that the polyamines are involved in events inherent to genetically programmed ...

Polyamines in Plant Biotechnology, Food Nutrition and Human Health [PDF]
Polyamines (PAs) are low-molecular-mass organic polycations derived from amino acids. Structurally, PAs are aliphatic chains containing two or more amine groups.

Nucleosome destabilization by polyamines [PDF]
The roles and molecular interactions of polyamines (PAs) in the nucleus are not fully understood. Here their effect on nucleosome stability, a key regulatory factor in eukaryotic gene control, is reported, as measured in agarose embedded nuclei of H2B ...
