The hypO gene from Sinorhizobium meliloti, located within the trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline metabolic gene cluster, was first successfully expressed in the host Pseudomonas putida. Purified HypO protein functioned as a FAD-containing cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline dehydrogenase with a homomeric structure. In contrast to other known enzymes, significant activity for D-proline was found, confirming a previously proposed potential involvement in D-proline metabolism.

Proline utilization A (PutA) proteins are bifunctional proline catabolic enzymes that catalyze the 4-electron oxidation of l-proline to l-glutamate using spatially-separated proline dehydrogenase and l-glutamate-γ-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (GSALDH, a.k.a.

Unlabelled: Sinorhizobium meliloti forms N2-fixing root nodules on alfalfa, and as a free-living bacterium, it can grow on a very broad range of substrates, including l-proline and several related compounds, such as proline betaine, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (trans-4-l-Hyp), and cis-4-hydroxy-d-proline (cis-4-d-Hyp). Fourteen hyp genes are induced upon growth of S. meliloti on trans-4-l-Hyp, and of those, hypMNPQ encodes an ABC-type trans-4-l-Hyp transporter and hypRE encodes an epimerase that converts trans-4-l-Hyp to cis-4-d-Hyp in the bacterial cytoplasm.

Post-translational hydroxylation of the L-proline residue mainly occurs in collagen; therefore, the L-hydroxyprolines (L-Hyp) synthesized, including trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (T4LHyp) and trans-3-hydroxy-L-proline (T3LHyp), are important markers for directly measuring the content of collagen in several biological samples. The most frequently used method to estimate the content of L-Hyp is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which is inconvenient. In the present study, we attempted to estimate the content of L-Hyp using coupling systems with metabolic enzymes of the T4LHyp (hydroxyproline 2-epimerase (HypE) and cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline dehydrogenase (HypDH)) and T3LHyp pathways (T3LHyp dehydratase (T3LHypD) and Δ(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate reductase (Pyr2CR)) from microorganisms.

trans-4-Hydroxy-l-proline (T4LHyp) and trans-3-hydroxy-l-proline (T3LHyp) occur mainly in collagen. A few bacteria can convert T4LHyp to α-ketoglutarate, and we previously revealed a hypothetical pathway consisting of four enzymes at the molecular level (J Biol Chem (2007) 282, 6685-6695; J Biol Chem (2012) 287, 32674-32688). Here, we first found that Azospirillum brasilense has the ability to grow not only on T4LHyp but also T3LHyp as a sole carbon source.
