Thermospermine synthase

Thermospermine synthase (, TSPMS, ACL5 (ACAULIS5), SAC51) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosylmethioninamine:spermidine 3-aminopropyltransferase (thermospermine synthesizing). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosylmethioninamine + spermidine S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + thermospermine + H<sup>+</sup>

This enzyme is required for correct xylem specification through regulation of the lifetime of the xylem elements.
