Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylmethioninamine (dcAdoMet), the propylamine donor required for the synthesis of the polyamines spermine and spermidine from the diamine putrescine.
Catalytic activity RHEA:15981: H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = CO2 + S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine
EC 4.1.1.50
Cofactor pyruvate
Note: Binds 1 pyruvoyl group covalently per subunit.
Pathway Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine from S-adenosyl-L-methionine: step 1/1.
Subunit Heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains arranged as a dimer of alpha/beta heterodimers.
Ptm Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme. Formation of the active enzyme involves a self-maturation process in which the active site pyruvoyl group is generated from an internal serine residue via an autocatalytic post-translational modification. Two non-identical subunits are generated from the proenzyme in this reaction, and the pyruvate is formed at the N-terminus of the alpha chain, which is derived from the carboxyl end of the proenzyme. The post-translation cleavage follows an unusual pathway, termed non-hydrolytic serinolysis, in which the side chain hydroxyl group of the serine supplies its oxygen atom to form the C-terminus of the beta chain, while the remainder of the serine residue undergoes an oxidative deamination to produce ammonia and the pyruvoyl group blocking the N-terminus of the alpha chain.
Similarity Belongs to the prokaryotic AdoMetDC family. Type 1 subfamily.

Comments Prokaryotic AdoMetDC type 1 subfamily comprises 2 branches, one with S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) activity (this rule, MF_00464) and the other with arginine decarboxylase (ArgDC) activity (see MF_01298). Crenarchaeota possess 2 paralogs, one protein from each branch associated with each function.
