Polyamine oxidases (PAOs) are FAD-dependent enzymes involved in polyamine (PA) catabolism. Recent studies have revealed that plant PAOs are not only active in the terminal catabolism of PAs as demonstrated for maize apoplastic PAO but also in a polyamine back-conversion pathway as shown for most Arabidopsis PAOs. We have characterizedOryza sativaPAOs at molecular and biochemical levels. The rice genome contains 7PAOisoforms that are termedOsPAO1toOsPAO7. Of the seven PAOs,OsPAO3,OsPAO4, andOsPAO5transcripts were most abundant in 2-week-old seedlings and mature plants, whileOsPAO1,OsPAO2,OsPAO6, andOsPAO7were expressed at very low levels with different tissue specificities. The more abundantly expressed PAOs—OsPAO3,OsPAO4, andOsPAO5—were cloned, and their gene products were produced inEscherichia coli. The enzymatic activities of the purified OsPAO3 to OsPAO5 proteins were examined. OsPAO3 favored spermidine (Spd) as substrate followed by thermospermine (T-Spm) and spermine (Spm) and showed a full PA back-conversion activity. OsPAO4 substrate specificity was similar to that of OsPAO5 preferring Spm and T-Spm but not Spd. Those enzymes also converted Spm and T-Spm to Spd, again indicative of PA back-conversion activities. Lastly, we show that OsPAO3, OsPAO4, and OsPAO5 are localized in peroxisomes. Together, these data revealed that constitutively and highly expressedO. sativaPAOs are localized in peroxisomes and catalyze PA back-conversion processes.
