1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase

Class of enzymes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.88) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The three substrates of this enzyme are (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and water. The starting material is in chemical equilibrium with L-glutamate-5-semialdehyde, which is oxidised to L-glutamic acid, giving reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2][3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase, 1-pyrroline dehydrogenase, pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase, pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase, L-pyrroline-5-carboxylate-NAD+ oxidoreductase, and 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in glutamate metabolism and arginine and proline metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 14 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2BHP, 2BHQ, 2BJA, 2BJK, 2EHQ, 2EHU, 2EII, 2EIT, 2EIW, 2EJ6, 2EJD, 2EJL, 2IY6, and 2J40.

Human gene

In human, the protein is encoded by ALDH4A1 gene.
