ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.127

Accepted Name
caldopentamine synthase
Alternative Name(s)
long-chain polyamine synthase
Reaction catalysed
norspermine + S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine <=> caldopentamine + 2 H(+) + S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the thermophilic archaeon Hyperthermus butylicus, can also synthesize norspermine from norspermidine and thermospermine from spermidine (with lower activity).
  • The long-chain polyamines stabilize double-stranded DNA at high temperatures.
  • In contrast to EC 2.5.1.23 and EC 2.5.1.126, this enzyme shows no activity with propane-1,3-diamine.
