Quiescent, contact inhibited H-35 rat hepatoma cell cultures maintained in minimal essential medium contain a very low level of ornithine decarboxylase [EC 4.1.1.17] activity. However, 2 h after the addition of 10% fetal calf serum to the culture medium, the enzyme activity increases by .apprx. 100-fold. This increase can be completely inhibited by the simultaneous addition of 10-2 M putrescine. The presence of putrescine elicits the appearance of an intracellular inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase. This inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase has a MW of 26,500, is sensitive to the action of chymotrypsin and is non-competitive with respect to ornithine. The intracellular appearance of this inhibitor is sensitive to cycloheximide but is only partially inhibited by actinomycin D.
