High impact information on spermidine

  • In vitro experiments with a fusion construct using reticulocyte lysates demonstrate polyamine-dependent expression with a frameshift efficiency of 19% at the optimal concentration of spermidine [10].
  • The RNA moieties of ribonuclease P purified from both E. coli (M1 RNA) and B. subtilis (P-RNA) can cleave tRNA precursor molecules in buffers containing either 60 mM Mg2+ or 10 mM Mg2+ plus 1 mM spermidine [11].
  • Transglutaminase was effective in promoting the binding of spermidine to the sperm [12].
  • Three of the six spermidine homologs supported cell growth during a 48-hour incubation in the presence of DFMO, indicating that a two-carbon extension of spermidine structure was tolerated for biological function [13].
  • No more than 15 percent of the spermidine normally present in L1210 cells was required for cell proliferation in the presence of DFMO [13].
