title: A conceptual model of the polyamine binding site of N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase developed from a study of polyamine derivatives.
abstract: We used various polyamine derivatives to study the substrate binding site of N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase (PAO) that was partially purified from rat liver. The substrate activities of acetylpolyamines indicated the presence of two anionic centers corresponding to the 1,3-diaminopropane (1,3-DAP) structure and a hydrophobic region in addition to the cleavage site of the acetamidopropyl group. Based on the results of the inhibitory activities of 1,3-DAP derivatives, we developed a conceptual model of the polyamine binding site of PAO. We used this model to identify a potent competitive inhibitor, N1,N7-dihexyl-1,7-diamino-4-azaheptane, and to develop an affinity column, 1,16-diamino4,13-diazahexadecane-linked Sepharose, which was useful for the purification of PAO.
