ABSTRACT
The effects of macrocyclic polyamines and polymethylenediamines on various reactions influenced by polyamines have been studied. Among the amines tested, 2,3,4,3- and 3,3,3,4-cyclic polyamines, NH2(CH2)6NH2 and NH2(CH2)8NH2 had some ability to stimulate polyphenylalanine synthesis, globin synthesis and rat liver isoleucyl-tRNA formation. The degree of stimulation was at most 40% of that obtained by polyamines. In the degradation of poly(C) by bovine pancreatic RNAase A, all tested amines stimulated the degradation. In the NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsomes, the degree of inhibition by 2,3,2,3- or 2,3,3,3-cyclic polyamine was greater than that by spermine. The hydrolysis of ATP by an oligomycin-sensitive ATPase was inhibited by 2,3,4,3- and 3,3,3,4-cyclic polyamines, NH2(CH2)10HN2 and spermine at somewhat comparable levels. None of the macrocyclic polyamines or polymethylenediamines stimulated the growth of a polyamine-requiring mutant of Escherichia coli. Possible explanations for the differences in the effects of amines on the various reactions are discussed.
