Increased mouse epidermal ornithine decarboxylase activity by the tumour promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate involves increased amounts of both enzyme protein and messenger RNA. 1986

A K Verma, and D Erickson, and B J Dolnick

Evidence was sought that the tumour promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced mouse epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 4.1.1.17) activity involves both increased ODC mRNA and ODC protein. Application of 10 nmol of TPA to mouse skin led to a dramatic increase in soluble epidermal ODC activity which paralleled an increase in amount of enzymically active ODC protein as determined by gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitated difluoromethyl[3H]ornithine-bound ODC. Application of TPA to mouse skin also resulted in an increase in ODC mRNA measured by dot-blot analysis using a radiolabelled cDNA probe. ODC mRNA induction preceded the increase in ODC activity by TPA. TPA-increased ODC mRNA displayed a single major band of 2.1 kilobases in size identified by the Northern blotting procedure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009955 Ornithine Decarboxylase A pyridoxal-phosphate protein, believed to be the rate-limiting compound in the biosynthesis of polyamines. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of ornithine to form putrescine, which is then linked to a propylamine moiety of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine to form spermidine.

D004790 Enzyme Induction An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis. Induction, Enzyme
D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
