ID 2.5.1.46 DE deoxyhypusine synthase. AN (4-aminobutyl)lysine synthase. AN [eIF-5A]-deoxyhypusine synthase. AN spermidine dehydrogenase. CA [eIF5A protein]-L-lysine + spermidine = [eIF5A protein]-deoxyhypusine + CA propane-1,3-diamine. CC -!- The eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5A contains a hypusine residue CC that is essential for activity. CC -!- Catalyzes the first reaction of hypusine formation from one specific CC lysine residue of the eIF5A precursor. CC -!- The reaction occurs in four steps: NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenation CC of spermidine (1a), formation of an enzyme-imine intermediate by CC transfer of the 4-aminobutylidene group from dehydrospermidine to the CC active site lysine residue (1b), transfer of the same CC 4-aminobutylidene group from the enzyme intermediate to the e1F5A CC precursor (1c), reduction of the e1F5A-imine intermediate to form a CC deoxyhypusine residue (1d). CC -!- Hence the overall reaction is transfer of a 4-aminobutyl group. CC -!- For the plant enzyme, homospermidine can substitute for spermidine CC and putrescine can substitute for the lysine residue of the eIF5A CC precursor. CC -!- Hypusine is formed from deoxyhypusine by the action of EC 1.14.99.29. CC -!- Formerly EC 1.1.1.249.
