The observed sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes to the toxic proline analogue L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AZ) suggested that proline synthesis in Listeria may be regulated by feedback inhibition of gamma-glutamyl kinase (GK), the first enzyme of the proline biosynthesis pathway, encoded by the proB gene. Taking advantage of the Epicurian coli mutator strain XL1-Red, we performed random mu...
new report shows that a eukaryotic transcription factor is directly activated by a metabolite of the pathway it controls. Although this idea has been proposed for several regulatory systems, Christopher Sellick and Richard Reece (University of Manchester, UK) are the first to demonstrate direct binding to and activation of a eukaryotic transcription factor by a small molecule metabolite. The in...
In many plants, osmotic stress induces a rapid accumulation of proline through de novo synthesis from glutamate. This response is thought to play a pivotal role in osmotic stress tolerance [Kishor, P. B. K., Hong, Z., Miao, G.-H., Hu, C.-A. A. and Verma, D. P. S. (1995) Plant Physiol. 108, 1387-1394]. During recovery from osmotic stress, accumulated proline is rapidly oxidized to glutamate and ...
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, has a metabolism largely based on the consumption of glucose and proline. This amino acid is essential for host cells infection and intracellular differentiation. In this work we identified a proline transporter (TcAAAP069) by yeasts complementation assays and overexpression in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes. TcAAAP069 is mono-specif...
This study investigated the effect of proline addition on the salt tolerance of Tetragenococcus halophilus. Salt stress led to the accumulation of intracellular proline in T. halophilus. When 0.5 g/l proline was added to hyperhaline medium, the biomass increased 34.6% (12% NaCl) and 27.7% (18% NaCl) compared with the control (without proline addition), respectively. A metabolomic approach was e...
QM and QM/MM energy calculations have been carried out on an atomic resolution structure of liganded triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) that has an active site proline (Pro168) in a planar conformation. The origin of the planarity of this proline has been identified. Steric interactions between the atoms of the proline ring and a tyrosine ring (Tyr166) on one side of the proline prevent the ring f...
BACKGROUND The milk casein-derived bioactive tripeptides isoleucine-proline-proline (IPP) and valine-proline-proline (VPP) have been shown to prevent development of hypertension in animal models and to lower blood pressure in moderately hypertensive subjects in most but not all clinical trials. Inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE-1) has been suggested as the explanation for these...
Active transport of proline was observed in both electron transport particles and cell membrane ghosts from Mycobacterium phlei. The transport of proline was dependent upon substrate oxidation and the presence of Li+ or Na+, but not upon the formation of a high energy phosphorylated intermediate. The requirement for Na+ was different from Na+ coupled transport systems which have been described;...
Two types of peptidases are known to hydrolyze peptides containing proline and hydroxyproline. The first of these, prolidase (l-3), attacks peptide bonds involving t,he nitrogen of the imino acids in the typical substrates, glycyl-L-proline and glycylhydroxy+proline. The individuality of this enzyme has already been demonstrated by purification and by specificity studies. The second enzyme, nam...
To investigate the influence of proline residues on the activity of alpha-helical peptides, variants were synthesized with insertions of proline residues to create peptides without proline, or with one or two prolines. The influence of the proline-induced bends was assessed by circular dichroism in the presence of liposomes, and the ability of the peptides to kill microorganisms, to permeabiliz...
