Comments [?]

FUNCTIONCatalyzes 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 Reaction=H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = CO2 + S-adenosyl 3- (methylsulfanyl)propylamine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15981, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:57443, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789; EC=4.1.1.50;
COFACTOR Name=pyruvate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:15361; Note=Binds 1 pyruvoyl group covalently per subunit.;
PATHWAYAmine and polyamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine from S-adenosyl-L-methionine: step 1/1.
SUBUNITHeterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains arranged as a dimer of alpha/beta heterodimers.
PTMIs 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.
SIMILARITYBelongs 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.
