Spermidine Synthase (SPDS) Undergoes Concerted Structural Rearrangements Upon Ligand Binding – A Case Study of the Two SPDS Isoforms From Arabidopsis thaliana

Spermidine synthases (SPDSs) catalyze the production of the linear triamine, spermidine, from putrescine. They utilize decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dc-SAM), a universal cofactor of aminopropyltransferases, as a donor of the aminopropyl moiety. In this work, we describe crystal structures of...
