RESUMO
The regulation of the synthesis of the enzymes involved in the utilization of L-arginine, L-ornithine, agmatine, and putrescine as a sole nitrogen source in Escherichia coli K-12 was examined. The synthesis of agmatine ureohydrolase, putrescine aminotransferase, and pyrroline dehydrogenase is dually controlled by catabolite repression and nitrogen availability. Catabolite repression of agmatine ureohydrolase, but not that of putrescine aminotransferase or pyrroline dehydrogenase, is relieved by the addition of cAMP. Agmatine ureohydrolase synthesis in addition is subject to induction by L-arginine and agmatine. Arginine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase synthesis is not sensitive to catabolite repression or to stimulation by nitrogen limitation or subject to substrate induction.
