Ornithine decarboxylase from Crithidia fasciculata is metabolically unstable and resistant to polyamine down-regulation

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) of Crithidia fasciculata extracts shows maximal activity during exponential growth of the parasite and decreases markedly in the stationary phase. The inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide evoked a rapid loss of enzyme activity with a half-life of about 30 mi...
