The degradation of agmatine to succinate by Klebsiella aerogenes occurs in five steps. The enzyme catalyzing the first step, agmatinase, is induced by agmatine. The enzymes catalyzing the second and third steps, putrescine aminotransferase and 4-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase, are induced by putrescine and also by their product, 4-aminobutyrate. The enzymes catalyzing the fourth and fifth steps, 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase and succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, are induced by 4-aminobutyrate. This compound also serves as gratuitous inducer of the catabolic acetylornithine aminotransferase. The formation of the enzymes responsible for agmatine degradation is regulated not only by induction, but also by catabolite repression and activation by glutamine synthetase.
产气克雷伯菌将胍丁胺降解为琥珀酸的过程分五步进行。催化第一步反应的酶——胍丁胺酶,由胍丁胺诱导产生。催化第二步和第三步反应的酶——腐胺转氨酶和4-氨基丁醛脱氢酶,由腐胺及其产物4-氨基丁酸诱导产生。催化第四步和第五步反应的酶——4-氨基丁酸转氨酶和琥珀酸半醛脱氢酶,由4-氨基丁酸诱导产生。该化合物还作为分解代谢型乙酰鸟氨酸转氨酶的安慰诱导物。负责胍丁胺降解的酶的形成不仅受诱导调节,还受分解代谢物阻遏和谷氨酰胺合成酶的激活调节。
