Summary

SMS (spermine synthase, HGNC:11123) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.11, encoding Spermine synthase (P52788). Catalyzes the production of spermine from spermidine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 14.5% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a protein belonging to the spermidine/spermin synthase family and catalyzes the production of spermine from spermidine. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 1, 5, 6 and X. Mutations in this gene cause an X-linked intellectual disability called Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

All UniProt accessions (2): P52788, H7C2R7

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Catalyzes the production of spermine from spermidine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM).

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Dimerization is mediated through the N-terminal domain and seems to be required for activity as deletion of the N-terminal domain causes complete loss of activity.

Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, X-linked, syndromic, Snyder-Robinson type (MRXSSR) [MIM:309583] An X-linked intellectual disability syndrome characterized by a collection of clinical features including facial asymmetry, marfanoid habitus, hypertonia, osteoporosis and unsteady gait. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. Composed of 3 domains: the N-terminal domain has structural similarity to S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, the central domain is made up of four beta strands and the C-terminal domain is similar in structure to spermidine synthase. The N- and C-terminal domains are both required for activity.

Pathway. Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; spermine biosynthesis; spermine from spermidine: step 1/1.

Similarity. Belongs to the spermidine/spermine synthase family.
