Protein
Delta(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate reductase
Organism
Colwellia psychrerythraea (strain 34H / ATCC BAA-681)
Function
Catalyzes the reduction of Delta(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate (Pyr2C) to L-proline, using preferentially NADPH over NADH as the electron donor. Together with LhpH, is involved in a metabolic pathway that converts trans-3-hydroxy-L-proline (t3LHyp) to L-proline. To a much lesser extent, can also reduce Delta(1)-piperideine-2-carboxylate (Pip2C) to L-pipecolate in vitro; however, this activity has likely no physiological significance in vivo since C.psychrerythraea probably possesses no ability to metabolize D-lysine via the L-pipecolate pathway. Does not show ornithine cyclodeaminase (OCD) activity.
Similarity
Belongs to the ornithine cyclodeaminase/mu-crystallin family.
