A mechanochemical approach to access the proline–proline diketopiperazine framework
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017 Ball milling was exploited to prepare a substituted proline building block by mechanochemical nucleophilic substitution. Subsequently, the mechanocoupling of hindered proline amino acid derivatives was developed to provide proline–proline dipeptides ...

Mitochondrial dynamics links PINCH-1 signaling to proline metabolic reprogramming and tumor growth
Cell Stress, 2020 Proline metabolism is critical for cellular response to microenvironmental stress in living organisms across different kingdoms, ranging from bacteria, plants to animals. In bacteria and plants, proline is known to accrue in response to osmotic and other

Colloidal stability of tannins: astringency, wine tasting and beyond [PDF]
, 2008 Tannin-tannin and tannin-protein interactions in water-ethanol solvent mixtures are studied in the context of red wine tasting. While tannin self-aggregation is relevant for visual aspect of wine tasting (limpidity and related colloidal phenomena ...

Structural Basis for the Substrate Inhibition of Proline Utilization A by Proline
Molecules, 2017 Proline utilization A (PutA) is a bifunctional flavoenzyme that catalyzes the two-step oxidation of l-proline to l-glutamate using spatially separated proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and l-glutamate-γ-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (GSALDH) active sites ...

The regulatory mechanisms of proline and hydroxyproline metabolism: Recent advances in perspective
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 For diverse human tumors, growth and metastasis are dependent on proline synthesis, but the mechanisms underlying this association are not clear. Proline incorporated into collagen is primarily synthesized from glutamine.

Proline racemases: insights into Trypanosoma cruzi peptides containing D-proline
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 Trypanosoma cruzi proline racemases (TcPRAC) are homodimeric enzymes that interconvert the L and D-enantiomers of proline. At least two paralogous copies of proline racemase (PR) genes are present per parasite haploid genome and they are differentially ...

Conformational Isomerization Involving Conserved Proline Residues Modulates Oligomerization of the NS1 Interferon Response Inhibitor from the Syncytial Respiratory Virus [PDF]
, 2019 Interferon response suppression by the respiratory syncytial virus relies on two unique nonstructural proteins, NS1 and NS2, that interact with cellular partners through high-order complexes.

Proline metabolism regulates replicative lifespan in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Microbial Cell, 2019 In many plants and microorganisms, intracellular proline has a protective role against various stresses, including heat-shock, oxidation and osmolarity. Environmental stresses induce cellular senescence in a variety of eukaryotes.
