Enzyme Information
| 2.5.1.44 |
Homospermidine synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt O32323
(1) 2 putrescine = sym-homospermidine + NH(3) + H(+). (2) Putrescine + spermidine = sym-homospermidine + propane-1,3-diamine.
-!- The reaction of this enzyme occurs in three steps, with some of the intermediates presumably remaining enzyme-bound: NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenation of putrescine, transfer of the 4-aminobutylidene group from dehydroputrescine to a second molecule of putrescine and reduction of the imine intermediate to form homospermidine. -!- Hence the overall reaction is transfer of a 4-aminobutyl group. -!- Differs from EC 2.5.1.45, which cannot use putrescine as donor of the aminobutyl group.
