IUBMB Comments
S-adenosyl 3-(methylthio)propylamine:spermidine 3-aminopropyltransferase (N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine synthesizing)
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.
