EC 1.5.3.16 Details
EC number
1.5.3.16
Accepted name
spermine oxidase
Reaction
spermine + O2 + H2O = spermidine + 3-aminopropanal + H2O2
Other name(s)
PAOh1/SMO, PAOh1 (ambiguous), AtPAO1, AtPAO4, SMO, mSMO, SMO(PAOh1), SMO/PAOh1, SMO5, mSMOmu
Systematic name
spermidine:oxygen oxidoreductase (spermidine-forming)
Comment
The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPAO1) oxidizes norspermine to norspermidine with high efficiency [3]. The mammalian enzyme, encoded by the SMOX gene, is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of spermine at the exo (three-carbon) side of the tertiary amine. No activity with spermidine. Weak activity with N1-acetylspermine. A flavoprotein (FAD). Differs in specificity from EC 1.5.3.13 (N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase), EC 1.5.3.14 (polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)), EC 1.5.3.15 (N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming) and EC 1.5.3.17 (non-specific polyamine oxidase).
