EC 2.5.1.127 Details
EC number
2.5.1.127
Accepted name
caldopentamine synthase
Reaction
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + norspermine = S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + caldopentamine
Other name(s)
long-chain polyamine synthase (ambiguous)
Systematic name
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine:norspermine 3-aminopropyltransferase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the thermophilic archaeon Hyperthermus butylicus, can also synthesize norspermine from norspermidine and thermospermine from spermidine (with lower activity). The long-chain polyamines stabilize double-stranded DNA at high temperatures. In contrast to EC 2.5.1.23, sym-norspermidine synthase and EC 2.5.1.126, norspermine synthase, this enzyme shows no activity with propane-1,3-diamine.
