ODC (ornithine decarboxylase) is a central regulator of cellular polyamine synthesis. ODC is a highly regulated enzyme stimulated by a variety of growth-promoting stimuli. ODC overexpression leads to cellular transformation. Cellular ODC levels are determined at transcriptional and translational levels and by regulation of its degradation. Here we review the mechanism of ODC degradation with particular emphasis on AzI (antizyme inhibitor), an ODC homologous protein that appears as a central regulator of ODC stability, cellular polyamine homoeostasis and cellular proliferation.

A macromolecular factor that inhibits the activity of the antizyme to ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was found in rat liver extracts. The factor, ‘antizyme inhibitor’, was heat-labile, non diffusable and of similar molecular size to ODC. The antizyme inhibitor re-activated ODC that had been inactivated by antizyme, apparently by replacing ODC in a complex with antizyme. Therefore the antizyme inhibitor can be used to assay the amount of inactive ODC-antizyme complex formed in vitro. When assayed by this method, the complex was shown to be eluted before ODC from a Sephadex G-100 column. Significant increase in ODC activity was observed when the antizyme inhibitor was added to crude liver extracts from rats that had been injected with 1,3-diaminopropane to cause decay of ODC activity, suggesting the presence of inactive ODC-antizyme complex in the extracts.

Antizyme to ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and ODC-antizyme complex were both present in liver cytosols of starved rats. The antizyme was identified by its molecular weight, kinetic properties, formation of a complex with ODC, and reversal of its inhibition by antizyme inhibitor. The average amount of antizyme in liver cytosols of starved rats was 0.1 unit/mg of protein, roughly corresponding to basal hepatic ODC activity in rats fed ad libitum. The presence of ODC-antizyme complex was detected by using antizyme inhibitor. These results indicate that antizyme participates in the regulation of ODC activity in vivo under physiological conditions.
