Characterization and regulation of the speA gene in Escherichia coli
In Escherichia coli, the speA gene encodes biosynthetic arginine decarboxylase (ADC), the first enzyme in a putrescine biosynthetic pathway. ADC converts arginine to agmatine, which is hydrolyzed by agmatine ureohydrolase, encoded by the speB gene, to putrescine and urea. ADC is negatively regulated...
