6.3.1.11 ATP + glutamate + putrescine the enzyme is involved in a putrescine utilization pathway Escherichia coli ADP + phosphate + gamma-L-glutamylputrescine - ? 375064 6.3.1.11 ATP + L-glutamate + putrescine - Escherichia coli ADP + phosphate + gamma-L-glutamylputrescine - ? 376362 6.3.1.11 ATP + L-glutamate + putrescine the enzyme catalyzes the gamma-glutamylation of putrescine, the first step in a different putrescine utilization pathway involving gamma-glutamylated intermediates, the Puu pathway, in Escherichia coli, overview. The intracellular concentration of putrescine is probably optimized by PuuA transcriptionally and posttranslationally and excess putrescine is converted to a nutrient source by the Puu pathway, regulation, overview Escherichia coli K-12 ADP + phosphate + gamma-L-glutamylputrescine - ? 376362 6.3.1.11 ATP + L-glutamate + putrescine PuuA exhibits the highest activity for putrescine, which has four carbon atoms, and activity drops when the methylene chain of diamine is longer or shorter than C4 Escherichia coli K-12 ADP + phosphate + gamma-L-glutamylputrescine - ? 376362 6.3.1.11 additional information intracellular polyamine profile of various strains relevant to puuA, overview Escherichia coli K-12 ? - ? 89 6.3.1.11 additional information when any one of the substrates and a cofactor , i.e. putrescine, glutamate, ATP, and the metal ion, are omitted from the reaction mixture, gamma-Glu-Put is not formed Escherichia coli K-12 ? - ? 89
