OpenScientist PSEPK carboxyspermidine pathway review
An alternative polyamine biosynthetic pathway is widespread in bacteria and essential for biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae.
-
The study experimentally identifies paired CANSDH/CANSDC enzymes in the alternative bacterial polyamine pathway.
"deletion of either CANSDC or the putative CANSDH led to loss of sym-norspermidine and spermidine"
Structural analysis of carboxyspermidine dehydrogenase from Helicobacter pylori.
-
The study defines NADPH-dependent condensation of putrescine and aspartate semialdehyde by CASDH.
"CASDH condenses putrescine and aspartate β-semialdehyde into carboxyspermidine in an NADPH-dependent manner."
