Figure 1. Polyamine biosynthetic pathway and TbAdoMetDC ligands.

Figure 1.

(A) Reactions catalyzed by T. brucei S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (TbAdoMetDC/prozyme heterodimer), ornithine decarboxylase (TbODC) and spermidine synthase (TbSpdSyn) are shown. AdoMet, S-adenosyl-L-methionine; dcAdoMet, decarboxylated S-adenosyl-L-methionine; MTA, methylthioadenosine. (B) CGP 40215 (CGP) is a competitive inhibitor of AdoMetDC (C) Bis-tris propane (B3P), a buffer component in the TbAdoMetDC/prozyme crystallization solution.
