Spermidine synthase (putrescine aminopropyltransferase, PAPT) (SPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of spermidine, a ubiquitous polyamine[1]. SPS catalyzes the transfer of aminopropyl group from decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the amine acceptor spermidine. Disease SPS deficiency causes the intellectual disability Snyder-Robinson syndrome[2]. Structural highlights [3]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
