Description | Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (P5CR) ( ) [ , ] is the enzyme that catalyses the terminal step in the biosynthesis of proline from glutamate, the NAD(P) dependent oxidation of 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate into proline. This enzyme is also able to convert delta-1-piperideine-6-carboxylate (P6C) into pipecolic acid []; this activity is part of pathway for the biosynthesis of the cyclic tetrapeptide apicidin F in the fungus Fusarium fujikuroi []. This entry also includes the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase ucsG from Acremonium sp., which is part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of UCS1025A, a member of the pyrrolizidinone family that is a strong telomerase inhibitor and displays potent antibacterial and antitumor properties []. |
