FunFam 38: Polyamine oxidase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Non-specific polyamine oxidase. [EC: 1.5.3.17]
(1) Spermine + O(2) + H(2)O = spermidine + 3-aminopropanal + H(2)O(2). (2) Spermidine + O(2) + H(2)O = putrescine + 3-aminopropanal + H(2)O(2). (3) N(1)-acetylspermine + O(2) + H(2)O = spermidine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H(2)O(2). (4) N(1)-acetylspermidine + O(2) + H(2)O = putrescine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H(2)O(2).
  • The non-specific polyamine oxidases may differ from each other considerably.
  • The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows a rather broad specificity and also oxidizes N(8)-acetylspermidine.
  • The enzyme from Ascaris suum shows high activity with spermine and spermidine, but also oxidizes norspermine.
  • The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana shows high activity with spermidine, but also oxidizes other polyamines.
  • The specific polyamine oxidases are classified as EC 1.5.3.13, EC 1.5.3.14, EC 1.5.3.15 and EC 1.5.3.16.
  • Formerly EC 1.5.3.11, EC 1.5.3.n1, EC 1.5.3.n2 and EC 1.5.3.n4.
