PG - 221-6 AB - The transglutaminase-mediated insertion of putrescine into casein was inhibited competitively by alpha-difluoromethylornithine (alpha-DFMO), an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase. Preincubation of the amine acceptor (casein) or the enzyme itself with the inhibitor did not affect enzyme activity. Alpha-DFMO is a poorer substrate for transglutaminase (Km = 2.10 mM) than putrescine (Km = 0.17 mM). The inhibitory effect was also found with fibronectin as amine acceptor.
