Inhibition of Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 Mitigates Denervation‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Suppressing Proteolysis and Preserving Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

Activation of hepatic glutaminase by spermine [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1995
Glutaminase activity in intact mitochondria from rat liver is activated by spermine, as indicated both by increased glutamate production from glutamine and by increased respiration with glutamine as sole substrate. Glutaminase activity assayed in membranes from frozen-thawed mitochondria, is activated by spermine about 6-fold at physiological ...

Ligand binding represses bacterial histidine kinase activity by inhibiting its dimerization

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PdtaS is a kinase in the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis that senses copper and nitric oxide and controls virulence gene expression, but how the kinase senses these compounds was unclear. We show that PdtaS is active as a dimer with each monomer phosphorylating the other in trans.

Methionine Regulates Antitumour Function of CD8+ T Cells Through Polyamine Synthesis

Immunology, EarlyView.
Methionine restriction in vitro enhances CD8+ T cell effector function by suppressing polyamine synthesis and progressively induces the co‐expression of PD‐1 and TIM‐3. Consistently, sustained dietary methionine restriction diminishes the efficacy of adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) and promotes the expression of terminal exhaustion‐associated markers ...

Spermine Condenses DNA, but Not RNA Duplexes.

Biophysical Journal, 2017
Interactions between the polyamine spermine and nucleic acids drive important cellular processes. Spermine condenses DNA and some RNAs, such as poly(rA):poly(rU).

Targeted Modulation of Eukaryotic Release Factor 1 (OseRF1) by an RNA Aptamer Enhances Drought Adaptation in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought stress severely restricts rice productivity, necessitating strategies to enhance stress resilience. Here, we identify translation termination as a tunable regulatory node for stress adaptation. Using 25 rounds of SELEX, we isolated RTAR, an RNA aptamer that binds the rice eukaryotic release factor 1 (OseRF1) with nanomolar affinity ...

Overexpression of SAMDC1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana increases expression of defense-related genes as well as resistance to Pseudomonas syringae and Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
It has been previously described that elevation of endogenous spermine levels in Arabidopsis could be achieved by transgenic overexpression of S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC) or Spermine synthase (SPMS).

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Dose-Dependent Effect of the Polyamine Spermine on Wheat Seed Germination, Mycelium Growth of Fusarium Seed-Borne Pathogens, and In Vivo Fusarium Root and Crown Rot Development

Agriculture
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a crucial global food crop. The intensive crop farming, monoculture cultivation, and impact of climate change affect the susceptibility of wheat cultivars to biotic stresses, mainly caused by soil fungal pathogens ...
