The mechanism of the regulatory
degradation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) by polyamines was studied
in fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. To regulate
cellular spermidine experimentally, we cloned and disrupted
S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase gene (spe2)
in S. pombe. The null mutant of spe2 was devoid
of spermidine and spermine, accumulated putrescine, and contained a
high level of ODC. Addition of spermidine to the culture medium
resulted in rapid decrease in the ODC activity caused by the
acceleration of ODC degradation, which was dependent on de
novo protein synthesis. A fraction of ODC forming an inactive
complex concomitantly increased. The accelerated ODC degradation was
prevented either by knockout of antizyme gene or by selective
inhibitors of proteasome. Thus, unlike budding yeast, mammalian type
antizyme-mediated ODC degradation by proteasome is operating in
S. pombe.
