Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) have important roles for cell function as a growth factor. In this study, we identified the target molecules translationally regulated by polyamines, because polyamines mainly binds to RNA in cells. Spermidine is required for modification of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). It was clarified that eIF5A and its modification enzyme disruption in mice appeared the embryonic lethality.
