Other name(s): Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase; 1-pyrroline dehydrogenase; pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase; pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase; L-pyrroline-5-carboxylate-NAD+ oxidoreductase; 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate:NAD+ oxidoreductase; Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase
Systematic name: (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comments: This enzyme can oxidize a number of 1-pyrrolines, e.g. 3-hydroxy-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate is converted into 4-hydroxyglutamate and (R)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate is converted into D-glutamate. While NAD+ appears to be the better electron acceptor, NADP+ can also act, but more slowly [1,3]. In many organisms, ranging from bacteria to mammals, proline is oxidized to glutamate in a two-step process involving this enzyme and EC 1.5.99.8, proline dehydrogenase [3]. In many bacterial species, both activities are carried out by a single bifunctional enzyme [3,4].
