Polyamine-modulated factor 1 (PMF-1) has been reported to interact with NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and activate the polyamine-induced transcription of spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) gene. Polyamines are important regulators of cell growth and cell death and have been implicated in glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. In the present study, we have identified and characterized new functional binding partners for PMF-1. Our results demonstrate that PMF-1 binds to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). PMF-1 also represses glucocorticoid-induced transcription. Furthermore, we show that PMF-1 has an intrinsic repression activity, which could contribute to the repressive effect on GR. PMF-1 can also interact with the GR corepressor, receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140), but does not further enhance the repressive effect of RIP140. Our results suggest that PMF-1 has a broader function in regulation of genes and can contribute to glucocorticoid signaling.

Background: Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome is a rare but severe type of teratozoospermia. The familial trait of acephalic spermatozoa syndrome suggests that genetic factors play an important role. However, known mutations account for only some acephalic spermatozoa syndrome patients, and more studies are needed to elucidate its pathogenesis.

Background: Acephalic spermatozoa (AS) is a serious but rare reproductive genetic disorder that causes infertility in men. To date, only a few genes associated with AS defects have been identified, including the polyamine modulated factor 1 binding protein 1 (PMFBP1) gene. Consistent with this, PMFBP1 localizes to the head-neck connection, which bridges the implantation fossa and basal body.

Sperm deliver the male complement of DNA to the ovum, and thus play a key role in sexual reproduction. Accordingly, spermatogenesis has outstanding significance in fields as disparate as infertility treatments and pest-control, making it a broadly interesting and important focus for molecular genetics research in a wide range of species. Here we investigate spermatogenesis in the model lepidopteran insect Bombyx mori (silkworm moth), with particular focus on the gene PMFBP1 (polyamine modulated factor 1 binding protein 1).

Objective: Changes in polyamine-modulated factor 1 (PMF-1) promoter methylation might favor the expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase 1 (SSAT-1), causing excessive consumption of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM). This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of SSAT-1 activity inhibition, either alone or in combination with SAM.
Methods: Synovial fibroblasts were isolated from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA).
Exogenous polyamines promote osteogenic differentiation by reciprocally regulating osteogenic and adipogenic gene expression.

Polyamines are naturally occurring organic polycations that are ubiquitous in all organisms, and are essential for cell proliferation and differentiation. Although polyamines are involved in various cellular processes, their roles in stem cell differentiation are relatively unexplored. In this study, we found that exogenous polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, promoted osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) without inducing cell death or apoptosis.
