Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) declines in cells that accumulate an excess of polyamines, the downstream products of the enzyme. Superfluous production of polyamines is thus prevented. In animal cells, polyamines reduce ODC activity by accelerating its degradation. Similar down-regulation of ODC activity has been observed in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but induced degradation has not been documented. Here we show using pulse-chase analysis that the loss of enzyme activity is the result of increased degradation of ODC. Polyamines reduce the half-life of the newly synthesized protein from 3 h to approximately 10 min. Degradation of bulk ODC pools is also accelerated by polyamines, but the absolute rate of turnover is slower, with a half-life of 5 h in untreated and 1 h in treated cells. Newly synthesized ODC polypeptide thus undergoes a process of maturation that renders it relatively resistant to both basal and polyamine-induced degradation. Proteasome mutants have a blunted or absent regulatory response, implicating both the core protease and the regulatory cap of the proteasome in induced degradation of yeast ODC.
