摘要: Spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (Spd/Spm acetyltransferase) is the rate-limiting enzyme in catabolism of polyamines. This highly inducible by several stimuli, including natural polyamines and their structural analogues. To investigate underlying mechanism responsible for control this a cDNA which codes an active human Spd/Spm acetyltransferase has been isolated from random primed library constructed mRNA polyamine analogue treated large cell lung carcinoma line, NCI H157. The 972-base pair was identified using 32-fold degenerate, 20-base oligomer probe to 7-amino acid polypeptide sequence derived purified protein. 513-base open reading frame that protein 171 amino acids with predicted molecular weight 20,023. In vitro translation studies demonstrated product be biologically enzyme. recognizes 1.5-kilobase transcript cells induced H157 line following treatment analogue. unusually high expression response does not appear result amplification gene.
