Definition
OBSOLETE. The chemical reactions resulting in the formation of deoxyhypusine from spermidine by the enzyme [eIF-5A]-deoxyhypusine synthase. The reaction occurs in four steps: 1. spermidine + NAD+ = dehydrospermidine + NADH + H+; 2. dehydrospermidine + [enzyme]-lysine = 1,3-diaminopropane + [enzyme]-lysine-N6=CH(CH2)3NH2; 3. [enzyme]-lysine-N6=CH(CH2)3NH2 = [eIF-5A]-lysine-N6=CH(CH2)3NH2; 4. [eIF-5A]-lysine-N6=CH(CH2)3NH2 + NADH + H+ = [eIF-5A]-deoxyhypusine + NAD+. Source: MetaCyc:1.1.1.249-RXN
Comment
The reason for obsoletion is that although GO:0050983 is described as a multistep process, the entire reaction is carried out by a single enzyme, therefore was replacey by the molecular function GO:0034038 deoxyhypusine synthase activity.
consider: GO:0034038
