Revised Manuscript Received December 16, 1994® abstract: A plasmid expression vector, pINSAT2, was constructed in order to express spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) in Escherichia coli. Cellstransfected with this vector produced large amounts of SSAT, amounting to up to 2% of the soluble protein when isopropyl/3-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) was added and 0.3% of the soluble protein in the absence of inducer. The growth rate of cells expressing SSAT was reduced, and all of the cellular spermidine was converted to (V'-acetylspermidine, much of which was excreted. Putrescine and 1-methylspermidine, which is not a substrate for SSAT, could reverse the effects of SSAT expression on growth, but spermidine was only effective whenthe amount of SSAT expression was limited by omitting the IPTG inducer. The lack of stimulation of growth by spermidine correlated with its complete conversion to A^-acetylspermidine. These results show that A^-acetylspermine is not able to substitute for the unmodified polyamines in supporting growth and suggest thatacetylation is a physiological response to convert excess polyamines to a physiologically inert form which is readily excreted. Cells expressing large amounts of SSAT were much more senstive to the growth inhibitory action of the antitumor agent Nl, iV12-bis (ethyl) spermine, supporting the hypothesis that the ability of such bis (ethyl) polyamines to induce SSAT contributes to their antiproliferative actions. SSAT was readily purified to homogeneity from extracts of DH5a cells containing pINSAT2. The purified enzyme had a simialr specific activity and values for spermine and spermidine as the enzyme purified from human colon cancer cells, suggesting that posttranslational modifications specific to eukaryotes are not needed for enzymatic activity. The recombinant SSAT was found to acetylate the drugs 15-deoxyspergualin, 2-[(aminopropyl) amino] ethanethiol, and/V-(n-butyl)-1, 3-diaminopropane.Spermidine/spermine A^-acetyltransferase (SSAT) 1 is a highly inducible cytosolicenzyme that was first identified in extracts from the livers of rats treated with carbon tetrachloride (Matsui et al., 1981). Many subsequent experi-ments have shown thatSSAT is induced in responseto a wide range of stimuli including hormonesand growth factors, toxic compounds, various drugs, and pathophysiological insults [reviewed by Della Ragione et al.(1984) and Casero and Pegg (1993)]. SSAT isalso inducedby the polyamines themselves and by a variety of polyamine analogs (Casero & Pegg, 1993; Persson & Pegg, 1984; Pegg & Erwin, 1985; Erwin & Pegg, 1986; Casero et al., 1989; Saab et al., 1993;
