General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylmethioninamine (dcAdoMet), the propylamine donor required for the synthesis of the polyamines spermine and spermidine from the diamine putrescine By similarity. HAMAP MF_00464
Catalytic activity	S-adenosyl-L-methionine = (5-deoxy-5-adenosyl)(3-aminopropyl)-methylsulfonium salt + CO2. HAMAP MF_00464
Cofactor	Pyruvoyl group By similarity. HAMAP MF_00464
Pathway	Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine biosynthesis; S-adenosylmethioninamine from S-adenosyl-L-methionine: step 1/1. HAMAP MF_00464
Subunit structure	Heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains arranged as a dimer of alpha/beta heterodimers By similarity.
Post-translational modification	Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme. Formation of the active enzyme involves a self-maturation process in which the active site pyruvoyl group is generated from an internal serine residue via an autocatalytic post-translational modification. Two non-identical subunits are generated from the proenzyme in this reaction, and the pyruvate is formed at the N-terminus of the alpha chain, which is derived from the carboxyl end of the proenzyme. The post-translation cleavage follows an unusual pathway, termed non-hydrolytic serinolysis, in which the side chain hydroxyl group of the serine supplies its oxygen atom to form the C-terminus of the beta chain, while the remainder of the serine residue undergoes an oxidative deamination to produce ammonia and the pyruvoyl group blocking the N-terminus of the alpha chain By similarity. HAMAP MF_00464
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the prokaryotic AdoMetDC family. Type 1 subfamily.
