EC 1.5.3.16     
Accepted name: spermine oxidase
Reaction: spermine + O2 + H2O = spermidine + 3-aminopropanal + H2O2
Other name(s): PAOh1/SMO; PAOh1 (ambiguous); AtPAO1; AtPAO4; SMO; mSMO; SMO(PAOh1); SMO/PAOh1; SMO5; mSMOmu
Systematic name: spermidine:oxygen oxidoreductase (spermidine-forming)
Comments: The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPAO1) oxidizes norspermine to norspermidine with high efficiency [3]. The mammalian enzyme, encoded by the SMOX gene, is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of spermine at the exo (three-carbon) side of the tertiary amine. No activity with spermidine. Weak activity with N1-acetylspermine. A flavoprotein (FAD). Differs in specificity from EC 1.5.3.13 (N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase), EC 1.5.3.14 (polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)), EC 1.5.3.15 (N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming) and EC 1.5.3.17 (non-specific polyamine oxidase).

EC 1.5.3.17     
Accepted name: non-specific polyamine oxidase
Reaction: (1) spermine + O2 + H2O = spermidine + 3-aminopropanal + H2O2
(2) spermidine + O2 + H2O = putrescine + 3-aminopropanal + H2O2
(3) N1-acetylspermine + O2 + H2O = spermidine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2
(4) N1-acetylspermidine + O2 + H2O = putrescine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2
Other name(s): polyamine oxidase (ambiguous); Fms1; AtPAO3
Systematic name: polyamine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-aminopropanal or 3-acetamidopropanal-forming)
Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). The non-specific polyamine oxidases may differ from each other considerably. The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows a rather broad specificity and also oxidizes N8-acetylspermidine [3]. The enzyme from Ascaris suum shows high activity with spermine and spermidine, but also oxidizes norspermine [2]. The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana shows high activity with spermidine, but also oxidizes other polyamines [1]. The specific polyamine oxidases are classified as EC 1.5.3.13 (N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase), EC 1.5.3.14 (polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)), EC 1.5.3.15 (N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)) and EC 1.5.3.16 (spermine oxidase).

EC 2.5.1.126     
Accepted name: norspermine synthase
Reaction: S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + norspermidine = S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + norspermine
Glossary: norspermidine = bis(3-aminopropyl)amine
norspermine = N,N′-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-propanediamine
spermidine = N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-butanediamine
thermospermine = N-{3-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]propyl}-1,4-butanediamine
Other name(s): long-chain polyamine synthase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine:norspermidine 3-aminopropyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the thermophilic archaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum, can also synthesize norspermidine from propane-1,3-diamine and thermospermine from spermidine (with lower activity). The long-chain polyamines stabilize double-stranded DNA at high temperatures. In contrast to EC 2.5.1.127, caldopentamine synthase, this enzyme does not accept norspermine as a substrate.
