The Spermine Synthase OsSPMS1 Regulates Seed Germination, Grain Size, and Yield1[OPEN] [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2018 OsSPMS1, a spermine synthase that participates in polyamine and ethylene homeostasis, plays an important role in seed germination, plant architecture, and yield in rice.

In silico and in vitro investigations of the mutability of disease-causing missense mutation sites in spermine synthase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Spermine synthase (SMS) is a key enzyme controlling the concentration of spermidine and spermine in the cell. The importance of SMS is manifested by the fact that single missense mutations were found to cause Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS).

Cell Mol Life Sci, 2010 Spermine is present in many organisms including animals, plants, some fungi, some archaea, and some bacteria. It is synthesized by spermine synthase, a highly specific aminopropyltransferase. This review describes spermine synthase structure, genetics, and function.

Multi-Temperature Crystallography of Polyamine Biosynthesis Enzymes Reveals Differing Active Site Conformations at RT than 100K [PDF]
Structural DynamicsThe polyamine biosynthetic pathway synthesizes the polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine from ornithine and S-adenosyl methionine. These polyamines are important molecules in metabolism and are associated with growth and proliferation of cells ...

Communications Biology, 2022 Sex-dependent metabolism of spermine alter trophoblast gene expression through acetyl-coA biosynthesis and histone acetylation, indicating that escape of spermine synthase from X-linked inactivation partially contributes to placental sex differences.

Specificity of mammalian spermidine synthase and spermine synthase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1981 1. The specificity of rat prostatic spermidine synthase and spermine synthase with respect to the amine acceptor of the propylamine group was studied. 2. Spermidine synthase could use cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) instead of putrescine, but the Km for cadaverine was much greater and the rate with 1mM-cadaverine was only 10% of that with putrescine. 1,

Studies of inhibition of rat spermidine synthase and spermine synthase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1980 1. S-Adenosyl-l-methionine, S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine, 5′-methylthioadenosine and a number of analogues having changes in the base, sugar or amino acid portions of the molecule were tested as potential inhibitors of spermidine synthase and spermine synthase from rat ventral prostate. 2. S-Adenosyl-l-methionine was inhibitory to these reactions, as were
