    -  Gene name Name=speE; OrderedLocusNames=b0121;  
    -  Comments
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:S-adenosylmethioninamine + putrescine = 5'-methylthioadenosine + spermidine.
  • ENZYME REGULATION:The activity is thought to be regulated mainly by the availability of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine.
  • PATHWAY:Spermidine biosynthesis from arginine; third (last) step.
  • SUBUNIT:Homodimer.
  • MISCELLANEOUS:Optimal pH is 10.4.
  • SIMILARITY:Belongs to the spermidine/spermine synthase family.
