Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the key regulatory enzyme for polyamine biosynthesis, is known to have a short intracellular half-life, and antizyme, an ODC-binding protein induced by polyamines, has been suggested to be involved in the process of ODC degradation. In the present study we demonstrated that antizyme markedly accelerated ATP-dependent degradation of ODC in vitro in an extract from ODC-overproducing Chinese-hamster ovary cells.
