CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: CC Reaction=H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = CO2 + S-adenosyl 3- CC (methylsulfanyl)propylamine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15981, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, CC ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:57443, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789; EC=4.1.1.50; CC -!- COFACTOR: CC Name=pyruvate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:15361; CC Note=Binds 1 pyruvoyl group covalently per subunit.; CC -!- PATHWAY: Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine CC biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine from S-adenosyl-L-methionine: CC step 1/1. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterooctamer of four alpha and four beta chains arranged as a CC tetramer of alpha/beta heterodimers. CC -!- PTM: Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme. Formation of CC the active enzyme involves a self-maturation process in which the CC active site pyruvoyl group is generated from an internal serine residue CC via an autocatalytic post-translational modification. Two non-identical CC subunits are generated from the proenzyme in this reaction, and the CC pyruvate is formed at the N-terminus of the alpha chain, which is CC derived from the carboxyl end of the proenzyme. The post-translation CC cleavage follows an unusual pathway, termed non-hydrolytic serinolysis, CC in which the side chain hydroxyl group of the serine supplies its CC oxygen atom to form the C-terminus of the beta chain, while the CC remainder of the serine residue undergoes an oxidative deamination to CC produce ammonia and the pyruvoyl group blocking the N-terminus of the CC alpha chain. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the prokaryotic AdoMetDC family. Type 2 CC subfamily.

This may be the case for all the proteins from the prokaryotic AdoMetDC type 2 subfamily (this rule, MF_00465), but this is not the case for the prokaryotic AdoMetDC type 1 subfamily members (MF_00464).
