A macromolecular factor that inhibits the activity of the antizyme to ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was found in rat liver extracts. The factor, antizyme inhibitor, was heat-labile, non-diffusable and of similar molecular size to ODC. The antizyme inhibitor reactivated ODC that had been inactivated by antizyme, apparently by replacing ODC in a complex with antizyme. Therefore the antizyme inhibitor can be used to assay the amount of inactive ODC-antizyme complex formed in vitro. When assayed by this method, the complex was shown to be eluted before ODC from a Sephadex G-100 column. Significant increase in ODC activity was observed when the antizyme inhibitor was added to crude liver extracts from rats that had been injected with 1,3-diaminopropane to cause decay of ODC activity, suggesting the presence of inactive ODC-antizyme complex in the extracts.
