EC 2.5.1.16 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

2.5.1.16

Accepted name

spermidine synthase

Reaction

S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + putrescine = S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + spermidine

Other name(s)

aminopropyltransferase, putrescine aminopropyltransferase, spermidine synthetase, SpeE (ambiguous), S-adenosylmethioninamine:putrescine 3-aminopropyltransferase, S-adenosyl 3-(methylthio)propylamine:putrescine 3-aminopropyltransferase

Systematic name

S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine:putrescine 3-aminopropyltransferase

CAS registry number

37277-82-0

Comment

The enzymes from the plant Glycine max and from mammalia are highly specific for putrescine as the amine acceptor [2,7]. The enzymes from the bacteria Escherichia coli and Thermotoga maritima prefer putrescine but are more tolerant towards other amine acceptors, such as spermidine and cadaverine [5,6]. cf. EC 2.5.1.22 (spermine synthase) and EC 2.5.1.23 (sym-norspermidine synthase).
