Polyamine biosynthetic enzymes in the cell cycle of Chlorella. Correlation between ornithine decarboxylase and DNA synthesis at different light intensities Chlorella vulgaris var. vulgaris, Algae
1984
Overview
During the life cycle of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck var vulgaris fa. vulgaris growing synchronously, the specific activity of ornithine decarboxylase peaked at the 2nd hour of the cycle, whereas that of arginine decarboxylase changed only slightly, increasing towards the end of the cycle. The endogenous level of putrescine and spermidine on a per cell basis increased gradually up to the 8th hour of the cycle, and declined thereafter. Thus, the peak of ornithine decarboxylase activity and the polyamine increase preceded both DNA replication (which took place between the 6th and 8th hours of the cycle) and autospore release (which started at the 8th hour). A 2-fold increase in the light intensity caused doubling of the DNA content, resulting in doubling of the number of autospores per mother cell. It also brought about a 2-fold increase in the specific activity of ornithine decarboxylase and polyamine content, the peaks being at the same hour of the cycle under high and low light intensities. The increase in cell number and polyamine content in a Chlorella culture grown under high light intensity was inhibited by α-difluoromethyl ornithine, a specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, this inhibition being partially reversed by putrescine. It is suggested that in C. vulgaris the sequence of events which relates polyamine biosynthesis to cell division is as follows: increased ornithine decarboxylase activity, accumulation of polyamines, DNA replication, and autospore release.
