==Structure and Function==
==Structure and Function==
S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is a (αβ)2 dimer, forming a four-layer αββα sandwich <ref name="primary"/>.  The αβ monomers both have the same structure <ref name="primary"/>.  The β chain consists of the residues 1-67 while the α chain contains the residues 68-329 <ref name="four"/>. Each β sheet contains eight anti-parallel β strands <ref name="primary"/>.  AdoMetDC has a very unique fold compared to other large β-sandwich structures as well as other pyruvoyl-dependent amino acid decarboxylases <ref name="primary"/>. The two β sheets are connected by only one covalent bond which allows them a large amount of flexibility to behave as independently folded domains that move with respect to each other <ref name="primary"/>. The α and β subunits are formed by an internal cleavage reaction <ref name="primary"/>.

AdoMetDC belongs to a small class of decarboxylating enzymes that use as a prosthetic group a covalently bound pyruvate <ref name="primary"/><ref name="two"/>. The same cleavage reaction that forms the α and β subunits also converts a serine (Ser68) residue into the pyruvate <ref name="two"/><ref name="three"/><ref name="six">PMID: 10029540</ref>. This self processing reaction occurs via a N to O acyl rearrangement <ref name="three"/><ref name="four"/>. The pyruvoyl group is bound to the N-terminal of an α subunit <ref name="four"/><ref name="five"/>.

Decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to S-adenosyl-5’-(3-methylthiopropylamine) (dcAdoMet) is catalyzed using AdoMetDC <ref name="two"/>. Spermidine is the receptor of the aminopropyl group from dcAdoMet forming spermine or spermidine <ref name="five"/>. This is an early step in the pathway of polyamine biosynthesis of dcAdoMet, which commits it completely to this fate <ref name="five"/>.

==Mechanism:==
==Mechanism:==
Binding of AdoMet to its enzyme AdoMetDC is the first step and binding occurs through the pyruvate prosthetic group, reacting to give a Schiff base <ref name="six"/>. The pyruvate then acts as an election sink, helping to break the carbon to carboxylic acid bond (C-COO-) resulting in a carbon dioxide (CO2) being eliminated <ref name="six"/>. Protonation occurs at the R carbon of the product resulting in the release of dcAdoMet <ref name="six"/>. This protonation also regenerates the pyruvate cofactor so that it is available and ready for another reaction <ref name="six"/>.
