Thermospermine synthase ( EC 2.5.1.79, TSPMS, ACL5 (ACAULIS5), SAC51) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosylmethioninamine:spermidine 3-aminopropyltransferase (thermospermine synthesizing). [1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosylmethioninamine + spermidine S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + thermospermine + H+

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