Spermidine synthase (SRM) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, converting putrescine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM) into spermidine, a polyamine essential for cell growth and differentiation. The SRM protein is a homodimer with a strong substrate preference for putrescine and minimal activity toward other amines, and it does not require cofactors for its activity. Structurally, it belongs to the aminopropyltransferase family and is highly specific for its substrates, with its mechanism involving a nucleophilic attack by deprotonated putrescine on dcSAM. Dysregulation or inhibition of SRM has been implicated in several diseases, notably Sleeping Sickness (caused by Trypanosoma brucei) and Chagas Disease (caused by Trypanosoma cruzi), as these parasites rely on polyamine biosynthesis for survival, making SRM a potential drug target. Additionally, altered polyamine metabolism, including SRM activity, is associated with cancer and other proliferative disorders due to its role in cellular proliferation and differentiation.
