Understanding the regulation of proline metabolism necessitates the suppression of two Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase enzyme (P5CS) genes performed in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.).

Proline-Aromatic Sequences Stabilize Turns via C–H/π interactions in both cis-Proline and trans-Proline [PDF]
In proteins, proline-aromatic sequences exhibit increased frequencies of cis-proline amide bonds, via proposed C–H/π interactions between the aromatic ring and either the proline ring or the backbone C–Hα of the residue prior to proline.

Proline plays a special role in cancer metabolism. Proline oxidase (POX), a.k.a. proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), is among a few genes induced rapidly and robustly by P53, the tumor suppressor. Ectopic expression of POX under control of tet-off promoter initiated mitochondrial apoptosis. The mechanism activated by POX is mediated by its production of ROS.

Evaluation of P5CS and ProDH activity in Paulownia tomentosa (Steud.) as an indicator of oxidative changes induced by drought stress [PDF]
The aim of the study was to investigate changes in proline metabolism in seedlings of tree species during drought stress. One month old Paulownia tomentosa seedlings were exposed to moisture conditions at various levels (irrigation at 100, 75, 50 and 25%

Disruption of fyn SH3 domain interaction with a proline-rich motif in liver kinase B1 results in activation of AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]
Fyn-deficient mice display increased AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) activity as a result of Fyn-dependent regulation of Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1) in skeletal muscle.

Proline: a key player in plant abiotic stress tolerance
Dramatic accumulation of proline is a common physiological response in plants exposed to various abiotic stresses. Accumulation of proline could be due to de novo synthesis, decreased degradation, lower utilization, or hydrolysis of proteins.

Proline modulates the Trypanosoma cruzi resistance to reactive oxygen species and drugs through a novel D, L-proline transporter. [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, has a metabolism largely based on the consumption of glucose and proline. This amino acid is essential for host cells infection and intracellular differentiation.

Longevity Regulation by Proline Oxidation in Yeast
Proline is a pivotal and multifunctional amino acid that is used not only as a nitrogen source but also as a stress protectant and energy source. Therefore, proline metabolism is known to be important in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Proline-dependent regulation of collagen metabolism [PDF]
AbstractThis review is focused on recent data on the role of proline (Pro) in collagen biosynthesis and cellular metabolism. It seems obvious that one of the main substrates for collagen biosynthesis Pro is required to form collagen molecule. The question raised in this review is whether the Pro for collagen biosynthesis is synthesized “de novo”, comes
