A major byproduct of spermine oxidation is H2O2 a source of toxic reactive oxygen species. Recent targeted small interfering RNA studies have confirmed that SMO-produced reactive oxygen species are directly responsible for oxidative stress capable of inducing apoptosis and potentially mutagenic DNA damage. In the present study we describe a second catalytically active splice variant protein of the human spermine oxidase gene designated SMO5 which exhibits substrate specificities and affinities comparable to those of the originally identified human spermine oxidase-1 SMO PAOh1. and as such is an additional source of H2O2. Importantly overexpression of either of these SMO isoforms in NCI-H157 human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells resulted in significant localization of SMO protein in the nucleus as .
