Irreversible conversion of delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C), derived either from proline or ornithine, to glutamate. This is a necessary step in the pathway interconnecting the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The preferred substrate is glutamic gamma-semialdehyde, other substrates include succinic, glutaric and adipic semialdehydes.
Type II hyperprolinemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in Δ(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH; also known as ALDH4A1), the aldehyde dehydrogenase that catalyzes the oxidation of glutamate semialdehyde to glutamate. Here, we report the first structure of human P5CDH (HsP5CDH) and investigate the impact of the hyperprolinemia-associated mutation of Ser352 to Leu on the structure and catalytic properties of the enzyme. The 2. 5-Å-resolution crystal structure of HsP5CDH was determined using experimental phasing. Structures of the mutant enzymes S352A (2.4 Å) and S352L (2.85 Å) were determined to elucidate the structural consequences of altering Ser352. Structures of the 93% identical mouse P5CDH complexed with sulfate ion (1.3 Å resolution), glutamate (1.5 Å), and NAD(+) (1.5 Å) were determined to obtain high-resolution views of the active site. Together, the structures show that Ser352 occupies a hydrophilic pocket and is connected via water-mediated hydrogen bonds to catalytic Cys348. Mutation of Ser352 to Leu is shown to abolish catalytic activity and eliminate NAD(+) binding. Analysis of the S352A mutant shows that these functional defects are caused by the introduction of the nonpolar Leu352 side chain rather than the removal of the Ser352 hydroxyl. The S352L structure shows that the mutation induces a dramatic 8-Å rearrangement of the catalytic loop. Because of this conformational change, Ser349 is not positioned to interact with the aldehyde substrate, conserved Glu447 is no longer poised to bind NAD(+), and Cys348 faces the wrong direction for nucleophilic attack. These structural alterations render the enzyme inactive.

Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDh; EC 1.5.1.12), a mitochondrial matrix NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenase, catalyzes the second step of the proline degradation pathway. Deficiency of this enzyme is associated with type II hyperprolinemia (HPII), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulation of delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) and proline. As an initial step in understanding the biochemistry of human P5CDh and molecular basis of HPII, we utilized published peptide sequence data and degenerate primer polymerase chain reaction to clone two full-length human P5CDh cDNAs, differing in length by 1 kilobase pair (kb). Both cDNAs have the identical 1689-base pair open reading frame encoding a protein of 563 residues with a predicted molecular mass of 62 kDa. The long cDNA contains an additional 1-kb insert in the 3'-untranslated region that appears to be an alternatively spliced intron. The conceptual translation of human P5CDh has 89% sequence identity with the published human P5CDh peptide sequences and 42 and 26% identity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli P5CDhs, respectively, as well as homology to several other aldehyde dehydrogenases. Both P5CDh cDNA clones detect a single 3.2-kb transcript on Northern blots of multiple human tissues, indicating the long cDNA containing the 3'-untranslated intron represents the predominant transcript. The P5CDh structural gene appears to be single copy with a size of about 20 kb localized to chromosome 1. To confirm the identity of the putative P5CDh cDNAs, we expressed them in a P5CDh-deficient strain of S. cerevisiae. Both conferred measurable P5CDh activity and the ability to grow on proline as a sole nitrogen source.

4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate (HOG) aldolase is a unique enzyme in the hydroxyproline degradation pathway catalyzing the cleavage of HOG to pyruvate and glyoxylate. Mutations in this enzyme are believed to be associated with the excessive production of oxalate in primary hyperoxaluria type 3 (PH3), although no experimental data is available to support this hypothesis. Moreover, the identity, oligomeric state, enzymatic activity, and crystal structure of human HOGA have not been experimentally determined.

Protein involved in a biochemical reaction with the cyclic amino acid proline. The structure of proline differs from the structure of other amino acids in that its side chain is bonded to the nitrogen of the amino group as well as to the carbon atom. This makes the amino group a secondary amine, and because of this, proline is also described as an imino acid. The presence of proline residues strongly influences the secondary structure of proteins.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
