25. Divergent Structure and Regulatory Mechanism of Proline Catabolic Systems: Characterization of the putAP Proline Catabolic Operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and Its Regulation by PruR, an AraC/XylS Family Protein
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 utilizes proline as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen via a bifunctional enzyme (the putA gene product) that has both proline dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.8) and pyrroline 5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.12) activities. We characterized the pruR-putAP loci encoding the proline catabolic system of this strain. In contrast to

26. Type II hyperprolinemia. Delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase deficiency in cultured skin fibroblasts and circulating lymphocytes.
Type II hyperprolinemia is an inherited abnormality in amino acid metabolism characterized by elevated plasma proline concentrations, iminoglycinuria, and the urinary excretion of delta1-pyrroline compounds. To define the enzymologic defect of this biochemical disorder, we developed a specific, sensitive radioisotopic assay for the proline degradative enzyme

27. Characterization of a gamma-glutamyl kinase from Escherichia coli that confers proline overproduction and osmotic tolerance.
Mutation(s) in the proBA operon of Escherichia coli confers proline overproduction and enhanced osmotic tolerance in enteric bacteria (L. N. Csonka, Mol. Gen. Genet. 182:82-86, 1981; M. J. Mahan and L. N. Csonka, J. Bacteriol. 156:1249-1262, 1983). A glutamate-dependent ATPase assay was developed and used to determine proB-encoded gamma-glutamyl kinase activ

28. Cluster of genes controlling proline degradation in Salmonella typhimurium.
A cluster of genes essential for degradation of proline to glutamate (put) is located between the pyrC and pyrD loci at min 22 of the Salmonella chromosome. A series of 25 deletion mutants of this region have been isolated and used to construct a fine-structure map of the put genes. The map includes mutations affecting the proline degradative activities, pro

29. Proline-hyperproducing strains of Serratia marcescens: enhancement of proline analog-mediated growth inhibition by increasing osmotic stress.
Proline-producing strains of Serratia marcescens were more osmotolerant than wild-type strains. Growth inhibition by proline analogs was significantly enhanced by increasing the osmotic stress of the medium. Mutants resistant to azetidine-2-carboxylate were derived from a proline-producing strain, SP126, under a high osmotic condition. One of the mutants, st

30. PROLINE OXIDASES IN HANSENULA SUBPELLICULOSA
Ling, Chung-Mei (Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago), and L. R. Hedrick. Proline oxidases in Hansenula subpelliculosa. J. Bacteriol. 87:1462–1470. 1964—Cells of Hansenula subpelliculosa can use l-proline as a carbon and a nitrogen source after a 6- to 8-hr induction period. However, they cannot use l-glutamate as both nitrogen and carbon sources u

31. Solubilization and Partial Purification of Amino Acid-Specific Components of the D-Lactate Dehyrogenase-Coupled Amino Acid-Transport Systems*
A protein-containing fraction has been solubilized from E. coli ML 308-225 membrane vesicles that has many of the properties of the amino acid “carrier proteins” of the D-lactate dehydrogenase-coupled amino acid-transport systems. Membrane vesicles were partially solubilized with the nonionic detergent Brij 36-T, and the solubilized material was fraction

32. Proline transport and metabolism in Rickettsia prowazekii.
Purified Rickettsia prowazekii cells were able to transport L-proline. The influx of this amino acid had a Kt of 14 microM and a Vmax of about 64 pmol/min per mg of protein. Proline could not be transported by heat-killed or metabolically poisoned rickettsiae or at 0 degrees C. The uptake of proline was linear for almost 2 h. More than 90% of the accumulated

33. Proline Catabolism by Pseudomonas putida: Cloning, Characterization, and Expression of the put Genes in the Presence of Root Exudates
Pseudomonas putida KT2442 is a root-colonizing strain which can use proline, one of the major components in root exudates, as its sole carbon and nitrogen source. A P. putida mutant unable to grow with proline as the sole carbon and nitrogen source was isolated after random mini-Tn5–Km mutagenesis. The mini-Tn5 insertion was located at the putA gene, which

34. Glutamate Dehydrogenase from Apodachlya (Oomycetes) 1
A glutamate dehydrogenase specific for nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide has been purified 50-fold from Apodachlya brachynema (Leptomitales). Certain physical, chemical, and kinetic properties of this enzyme have been studied, particularly specificity for coenzymes and substrates. With glucose as the sole carbon source, the synthesis of glutamate dehydrogena

35. Role and Regulation of Bacillus subtilis Glutamate Dehydrogenase Genes
The complete Bacillus subtilis genome contains two genes with the potential to encode glutamate dehydrogenase (GlutDH) enzymes. Mutations in these genes were constructed and characterized. The rocG gene proved to encode a major GlutDH whose synthesis was induced in media containing arginine or ornithine or, to a lesser degree, proline and was repressed by gl

36. Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium That Are Insensitive to Catabolite Repression of Proline Degradation
In Salmonella typhimurium the two enzymes of proline catabolism, proline oxidase and Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase, are subject to catabolite repression when the cells are grown in the presence of glucose. Mutants partially relieved of catabolite repression (PutR) for the proline catabolic enzymes have been isolated by selection on agar plate
