Sysname
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine:spermidine 3-aminopropyltransferase [N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine synthesizing]
Reaction(IUBMB)
2 S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + spermidine = 2 S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine (overall reaction) [RN:
R11154 ];
(1a) S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + spermidine = S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + N4-aminopropylspermidine [RN:
R11159 ];
(1b) S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + N4-aminopropylspermidine = S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine [RN:
R11160 ]

N4-aminopropylspermidine [CPD:
C21009 ]
Product
S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine [CPD:
C00170 ];
N4-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine [CPD:

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.
