Comments
FUNCTION: Catalyzes the production of spermidine from putrescine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM), which serves as an aminopropyl donor (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosylmethioninamine + putrescine = 5'-S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + spermidine.
PATHWAY: Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; spermidine biosynthesis; spermidine from putrescine: step 1/1.

case <OC:Proteobacteria>
SUBUNIT: Homodimer and homotetramer (By similarity).
end case


case <OC:Thermotogales>
SUBUNIT: Homotetramer (By similarity).
end case


case not <OC:Proteobacteria> and not <OC:Thermotogales>
SUBUNIT: Homodimer or homotetramer (By similarity).
end case

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the spermidine/spermine synthase family.
