EC 2.5.1.128 Details
EC number
2.5.1.128
Accepted name
N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine synthase
Reaction
2 S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + spermidine = 2 S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine (overall reaction);; (1a) S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + spermidine = S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + N4-aminopropylspermidine;; (1b) S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + N4-aminopropylspermidine = S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine
Systematic name
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine:spermidine 3-aminopropyltransferase [N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine synthesizing]
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the thermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, synthesizes the branched-chain polyamine N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine, which is required for cell growth at high-temperature. When spermine is used as substrate, the enzyme forms N4-aminopropylspermine.
