KEGG   ENZYME: 2.5.1.23
Entry
EC 2.5.1.23                 Enzyme                                 
Name
sym-norspermidine synthase;
S-adenosylmethioninamine:propane-1,3-diamine 3-aminopropyltransferase;
S-adenosyl 3-(methylthio)propylamine:propane-1,3-diamine 3-aminopropyltransferase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups (only sub-subclass identified to date)
Sysname
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine:propane-1,3-diamine 3-aminopropyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + propane-1,3-diamine = S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + bis(3-aminopropyl)amine [RN:R03271]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03271
Substrate
S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine [CPD:C01137];
propane-1,3-diamine [CPD:C00986]
Product
S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine [CPD:C00170];
bis(3-aminopropyl)amine [CPD:C03375]
Comment
The enzyme has been originally characterized from the protist Euglena gracilis [1,2]. The enzyme from the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus can transfer the propylamine moiety from S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine to putrescine, sym-norspermidine and spermidine with lower efficiency [3]. cf. EC 2.5.1.16 (spermidine synthase) and EC 2.5.1.22 (spermine synthase).
