N1-acetylspermine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-acetamidopropanal-forming) activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: H2O + N(1)-acetylspermine + O2 = 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2 + spermidine. [RHEA:25800]
N1-acetylspermine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-acetamidopropanal-forming) activity catalyzes the oxidation of N1-acetylspermine, a polyamine derivative, to 3-acetamidopropanal. This reaction involves the transfer of two electrons from N1-acetylspermine to molecular oxygen, resulting in the formation of hydrogen peroxide and the cleavage of the C-N bond between the N1-acetylated spermine and the adjacent carbon atom. The enzyme specifically recognizes and binds to N1-acetylspermine as a substrate. The reaction mechanism involves the initial formation of a reactive oxygen species, such as a superoxide radical, which then reacts with N1-acetylspermine to initiate the oxidation process. This enzyme activity is crucial for the regulation of polyamine metabolism, which plays a role in various cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation.'
