We had previously demonstrated that 1 mM 2,4-D inhibited cell growth, nucleic acid synthesis and protein synthesis (at the ribosomal level) of Azospirillum brasilense. These alterations were prevented by the presence of polyamines in the culture medium. On the other hand, polyamines did not affect the 2,4-D uptake. In this paper we demonstrate that 2,4-D alters the metabolism of polyamines and increases their uptake.

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. Ornithine Carboxy-lyase,Carboxy-lyase, Ornithine,Decarboxylase, Ornithine,Ornithine Carboxy lyase
D011436 Spermidine Synthase An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of the propylamine moiety from 5'-deoxy-5'-S-(3-methylthiopropylamine)sulfonium adenosine to putrescine in the biosynthesis of spermidine. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 73,000 kDa and is composed of two subunits of equal size. Aminopropyltransferase,Propylamine Transferase,Spermidine Synthetase,Putrescine Aminopropyltransferase,Aminopropyltransferase, Putrescine,Synthase, Spermidine,Synthetase, Spermidine,Transferase, Propylamine
D011700 Putrescine A toxic diamine formed by putrefaction from the decarboxylation of arginine and ornithine. 1,4-Butanediamine,1,4-Diaminobutane,Tetramethylenediamine,1,4 Butanediamine,1,4 Diaminobutane
D002262 Carboxy-Lyases Enzymes that catalyze the addition of a carboxyl group to a compound (carboxylases) or the removal of a carboxyl group from a compound (decarboxylases). EC 4.1.1. Carboxy-Lyase,Decarboxylase,Decarboxylases,Carboxy Lyase,Carboxy Lyases
D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments. Transport, Biological,Biologic Transport,Transport, Biologic
D013095 Spermidine A polyamine formed from putrescine. It is found in almost all tissues in association with nucleic acids. It is found as a cation at all pH values, and is thought to help stabilize some membranes and nucleic acid structures. It is a precursor of spermine.
D015084 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid An herbicide with irritant effects on the eye and the gastrointestinal system. 2,4-D,2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Ammonium Salt,2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Lithium Salt,2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Potassium Salt,2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Sodium Salt,Monosan,2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid
D015317 Biogenic Polyamines Biogenic amines having more than one amine group. These are long-chain aliphatic compounds that contain multiple amino and/or imino groups. Because of the linear arrangement of positive charge on these molecules, polyamines bind electrostatically to ribosomes, DNA, and RNA. Polyamines, Biogenic
D015806 Azospirillum brasilense A species of motile, free-living, gram-negative bacteria that occur in the soil. They are aerobic or microaerophilic and are sometimes capable of nitrogen fixation. Azospirillum brasiliense,Roseomonas fauriae,Spirillum lipoferum
