1.5.1.55

Accepted name:

carboxyaminopropylagmatine dehydrogenase

Reaction:

N¹-[(S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl]agmatine + NADP⁺ + H₂O = agmatine + L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + NADPH + H⁺

Glossary:

N¹-[(S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl]agmatine = carboxyaminopropylagmatine
L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde = L-aspartate β-semialdehyde

Other name(s):

slr0049 (locus name)

Systematic name:

N¹-[(S)-2-aminobutanoate]agmatine:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase (agmatine-forming)

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, catalyses the reductive condensation of agmatine and L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde. It participates in a biosynthetic pathway for spermidine.
