| spermidine acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Involved in conversion of spermidine into putrescine; csat refers to n1-acetyltransferse; nsat refers to n8-acetyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.57 Synonym: spermidine-spermine n(1)-acetyltransferase, diamine acetyltransferase, csat transferase, nsat transferase, spermidine n(8)-acetyltransferase, spermidine n1-acetyltransferase, spermidine n8-acetyltransferase, putrescine n-acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| spermidine synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of the propylamine moiety from 5'-deoxy-5'-s-(3-methylthiopropylamine)sulfonium adenosine to putrescine in the biosynthesis of spermidine. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 73,000 kD and is composed of two subunits of equal size.

| acetylase | Any enzyme catalyzing acetylation or deacetylation, as in the formation of N-acetylglutamate from glutamate plus acetyl-CoA, or the reverse; acetylase's are usually called acetyltransferases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha-tubulin acetylase | <enzyme> From chlamydomonas flagella; catalyses the acetylation of alpha-tubulin-l-lysine in the presence of acetyl-CoA to yield CoA and alpha-tubulin n(epsilon)-acetyl-l-lysine Registry number: EC 2.3.1.108 Synonym: alpha-tubulin acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
