SSAT regulates cellular polyamine homeostasis by degrading polyamines via their acetylation. SSAT activity is regulated by polyamine concentration and various toxins, hormones and natural products[1]. Spermidine/spermine N-acetyltransferase SpeG is a bacterial SSAT with a unique dodecameric structure and allosteric site[2]. Relevance Several types of cancer are accompanied by increased level of cellular polyamine and compounds which affect SSAT activity are explored as possible anti-cancer drugs[3]. Structural highlights The . In [4] (colored in cyan). Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
