+== Function ==
+Polyamines are essential in all branches of life. '''Spermidine synthase''' (or '''putrescine aminopropyltransferase, polyamine aminopropyltransferase, PAPT''') (SPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of spermidine, a ubiquitous polyamine<ref>PMID:17585781</ref>.  SPS catalyzes the transfer of aminopropyl group from decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the amine acceptor spermidine.  '''N4-Bis(aminopropyl) spermidine synthase''' or '''branched-chain polyamine synthase''' is an aminopropyltransferase essential for synthesis of branched-chain polyamines which enables thermophiles to grow in high temperature environments<ref>PMID:24610711</ref>.
+== Disease ==
+SPS deficiency causes the intellectual disability Snyder-Robinson syndrome<ref>PMID:21318891</ref>.

-Polyamines are essential in all branches of life. '''Spermidine synthase''' (putrescine aminopropyltransferase, PAPT) catalyzes the biosynthesis of spermidine, a ubiquitous polyamine.
-[[1inl]] - The crystal structure of the PAPT from Thermotoga maritima (TmPAPT) has been solved to 1.5 A resolution.
-The structure of TmPAPT in a complex with adoDATO ([[1jq3]]) can also be found on this site.
