CD Definition:
S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase; This family contains several S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase proteins from bacterial and archaebacterial species. S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of spermidine and spermine, is first synthesized as a proenzyme, which is cleaved post translationally to form alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit contains a covalently bound pyruvoyl group derived from serine that is essential for activity.
