General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function identification of a spermidine retroconversion activity in bacteria, producing diamine putrescine from triamine spermidine. When spermidine levels are pharmacologically decreased, synthesis of spermine from spermidine is induced via carboxyspermidine dehydrogenase and carboxyspermidine decarboxylase which produce spermidine from putrescine. A strain lacking carboxyspermidine decarboxylase activity accumulates carboxyspermidine, some putrescine and a small amount of homospermidine Agrobacterium tumefaciens
