Proline-specific aminopeptidase P prevents replication-associated genome instability.
Genotoxic stress during DNA replication constitutes a serious threat to genome integrity and causes human diseases. Defects at different steps of DNA metabolism are known to induce replication stress, but the contribution of other aspects of cellular ...

The study of a new and specific proline cleaving peptidase from bovine serum [PDF]
Prolyl oligopeptidase is a serine peptidase characterised by oligoendopeptidase activity. Definitive evidence for the discrete biological role of prolyl oligopeptidase remains unknown, though its role in the maturation and degradation of peptide hormones

Seedlings' growth in response to drought stress and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) [PDF]
The aim of this work was to study the effect of the herbicide, 2,4-D on a mono- cot (Lolium temulentum Linn.) and a dicot (Raphanus sativus Linn.) in relation to drought stress, in order to elucidate if the combined treatments altered the survival of the

Emerging Roles of De Novo Proline Biosynthesis in Human Diseases
De novo proline synthesis is a highly conserved and essential biochemical pathway in mammals. Beyond serving as a fundamental building block for proteins, proline also plays key roles in diverse cellular functions and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Over

NaCl-Regulated gene expression in Distichlis [PDF]
NaCl-induced and -repressed cDNA clones had previously been isolated by differential screening of a cDNA library, prepared from poly(A(^+)) RNA isolated from Distichlis spicata (salt grass) cell cultures grown in the presence of 260 mM NaCl (Zhao, et al.,

The accumulation of the stress metabolite praline in plantago lanceolata as a response to lead pollution [PDF]
The amino acid proline is known to accumulate in the tissues of several plant species as a result of environmental stress. High concentrations of certain toxic metals are one form of stress that can induce proline accumulation, and in some cases praline ...

Proline and ROS: A Unified Mechanism in Plant Development and Stress Response?
The proteinogenic amino acid proline plays crucial roles in both plant development and stress responses, far exceeding its role in protein synthesis. However, the molecular mechanisms and the relative importance of these additional functions of proline ...

Effect of drought stress on yield, proline and chlorophyll contents in three chickpea cultivars
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses in agriculture worldwide. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of drought stress on proline content, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and transpiration, stomatal conductance and yield
