Crystal structure of human spermine synthase in complex with spermine and 5-methylthioadenosine

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 18367445

Disease

[SPSY_HUMAN] Defects in SMS are the cause of X-linked syndromic mental retardation Snyder-Robinson type (MRXSSR) [MIM:309583]. Characterized by moderate intellectual deficit, hypotonia, an unsteady gait, osteoporosis, kyphoscoliosis and facial asymmetry. Transmission is X-linked recessive.^[1]

Function

[SPSY_HUMAN] Catalyzes the production of spermine from spermidine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM).
