Descriptions

S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase proenzyme (AdoMetDC) is a protein that catalyzes the conversion of S-adenosyl methionine to S-adenosylmethioninamine. Autoinhibition of AdoMetDC is mediated by the N-terminal sequence which blocks the active site, preventing the enzyme's catalytic activity. The relief of this autoinhibition involves heterodimerization with a catalytically dead paralog (proenzyme), resulting in conformational changes that displace the inhibitory N-terminal sequence from the active site, thereby activating the enzyme.
