This pathway demonstrates the degradation of extracellular putrescine in E.coli. Putrescine is imported by putrescine transporter (encoded by puuP gene). Putrescine is γ-glutamylated by activation of ATP which generates γ-glutamyl-putrescine, phosphate, and ADP. γ-glutamyl-putrescine is oxidized by gamma-glutamylputrescine oxidoreductase to form γ-glutamyl-γ-butyraldehyde, also produce ammonium and water. Gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase dehydrogenates γ-glutamyl-γ-butyraldehyde to γ-glutamyl-γ-aminobutyrate, which is then dehydrogenated into γ-Aminobutyric acid and L-Glutamic acid by γ-glutamyl-γ-aminobutyrate hydrolase.
