The stoichiometry of the oxidative phosphorylation of glutamic acid 5-semialdehyde by gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase (glutamate semialdehyde dehydrogenase) has been established. Equimolar amounts of NADP+ and L-glutamic acid 5-semialdehyde are consumed and equimolar amounts of 5-oxiopyrroilidine-2-carboxylic acid and NADPH are formed. The end-product of the reaction is demonstrated to be 5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, probably arising from the true end-product gamma-glutamyl phosphate.
To evaluate the relative importance of ornithine (Orn) as a precursor in proline (Pro) synthesis, we isolated and sequenced a cDNA encoding the Orn-δ-aminotransferase (δ-OAT) from Arabidopsis thaliana. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high homology with bacterial, yeast, mammalian, and plant sequences, and the N-terminal residues exhibited several common features with a mitochondrial transit peptide. Our results show that under both salt stress and normal conditions, δ-OAT activity and mRNA in young plantlets are slightly higher than in older plants. This appears to be related to the necessity to dispose of an easy recycling product, glutamate. Analysis of the expression of the gene revealed a close association with salt stress and Pro production. In young plantlets, free Pro content, Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase mRNA, δ-OAT activity, and δ-OAT mRNA were all increased by salt-stress treatment. These results suggest that for A. thaliana, the Orn pathway, together with the glutamate pathway, plays an important role in Pro accumulation during osmotic stress. Conversely, in 4-week-old A. thaliana plants, although free Pro level also increased under salt-stress conditions, the δ-OAT activity appeared to be unchanged and δ-OAT mRNA was not detectable. Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase mRNA was still induced at a similar level. Therefore, for the adult plants the free Pro increase seemed to be due to the activity of the enzymes of the glutamate pathway.
为了评估鸟氨酸(Orn)作为脯氨酸(Pro)合成的前体的相对重要性,我们从拟南芥中分离并测序了编码Orn-δ-氨基转移酶(δ-OAT)的cDNA。推导出的氨基酸序列与细菌、酵母、哺乳动物和植物序列具有很高的同源性,N-末端残基具有几个与线粒体转运肽的共同特征。我们的结果表明,在盐胁迫和正常条件下,年轻植株中的δ-OAT活性和mRNA略高于老年植株。这似乎与处置易于回收的产物谷氨酸的必要性有关。基因表达分析显示,该基因与盐胁迫和Pro产生密切相关。在年轻植株中,盐胁迫处理后,游离Pro含量、Δ1-吡咯烷酮-5-羧酸合成酶mRNA、δ-OAT活性和δ-OAT mRNA均增加。这些结果表明,在渗透胁迫期间,对于拟南芥而言,Orn途径与谷氨酸途径一起,在Pro积累中发挥重要作用。相反,在4周大的拟南芥植物中,尽管在盐胁迫条件下游离Pro水平也增加了,但δ-OAT活性似乎没有改变,δ-OAT mRNA也无法检测到。 Δ1-吡咯烷酮-5-羧酸合成酶mRNA仍然以相似水平诱导。因此,对于成年植物,游离Pro的增加似乎是由于谷氨酸途径酶的活性。
[delta]1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.12), the second enzyme in the proline catabolic pathway and a catalyst for the oxidation of P5C to glutamate, was purified from cultured potato (Solanum tuberosum L. var Desiree) cells. Homogeneous enzyme preparations were obtained by a three-step procedure that used anion-exchange, adsorption, and substrate elution chromatography. A 1600-fold purification was achieved, with a recovery of one-third of the initial activity. The purified enzyme was characterized with respect to structural, kinetic, and biochemical properties. It appeared to be an α--4 tetramer with subunits of an apparent molecular mass of about 60 kD and had a mildly acidic isoelectric point value. Potato P5C dehydrogenase had Michaelis constant values of 0.11 and 0.46 mM for NAD+ and P5C, respectively. Although NAD+ was the preferred electron acceptor, NADP+ also yielded an unusually high rate, and thus was found to serve as a substrate. Maximal activity was observed at pH values in the 7.3 to 8.3 range, and was progressively inhibited by chloride ions, a finding that strengthens recent suggestions that hyperosmotic stress negatively modulates in vivo proline oxidation.
从培养的马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum L. var Desiree)细胞中纯化了[delta]1-吡咯烷酸-5-羧酸脱氢酶(EC 1.5.1.12),这是脯氨酸降解途径中的第二个酶,催化P5C氧化为谷氨酸。通过离子交换、吸附和底物洗脱层析的三步程序,获得了纯度高的酶制剂。获得了1600倍的纯化,回收了最初活性的三分之一。对纯化酶进行了结构、动力学和生化性质的表征。它似乎是一个α-4四聚体,亚基的表观分子量约为60 kD,并具有轻微酸性的等电点值。马铃薯P5C脱氢酶的米氏常数分别为0.11和0.46 mM,用于NAD+和P5C。虽然NAD+是首选的电子受体,但NADP+也产生了异常高的速率,因此被发现可以作为底物。最大活性在pH值为7.3至8.3的范围内观察到,并且逐渐被氯离子抑制,这一发现加强了最近的建议,即高渗压胁迫负性调节体内脯氨酸氧化。
