The management of polyamine synthesis and polyamine pools differs fundamentally from that of most other small molecular-weight endproducts. The polyamines are vital to growth and important cellular functions, but they are toxic in excess. I argue here that their multivaient cationic character, leadi
In the present study we have examined the regulation of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway in a cell line deficient in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. These cells were unable to grow unless polyamines were provided in their growth medium. Seeding the cells in the absence of polyamines rapidl
