Effects of NaCl and Proline on Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Bean Seedlings
In this work, the effects of NaCl (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM), proline (0, 5 and 10 mM) and NaCl + proline in combinations on activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO; E.C.

Proline oxidase silencing induces proline-dependent pro-survival pathways in MCF-7 cells. [PDF]
Proline degradation by proline dehydrogenase/proline oxidase (PRODH/POX) contributes to apoptosis or autophagy. The identification of specific pathway of apoptosis/survival regulation is the aim of this study. We generated knocked-down PRODH/POX MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7shPRODH/POX). PRODH/POX silencing did not affect cell viability. However, it

PPARγ and Proline Oxidase in Cancer [PDF]
Proline is metabolized by its own specialized enzymes with their own tissue and subcellular localizations and mechanisms of regulation. The central enzyme in this metabolic system is proline oxidase, a flavin adenine dinucleotide‐containing enzyme which is tightly bound to mitochondrial inner membranes.

Alleviation of Phytophthora capsici-induced oxidatıve stress by foliarly applied proline in Capsicum annuum L. [PDF]
Phytophthora capsici is a highly destructive pathogen of pepper. To examine whether proline modifies the levels of plant defense compounds produced in response to P. capsici-induced stress, pepper seedlings were infected with P.

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.

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 Oxidase and Water Stress-induced Proline Accumulation in Spinach Leaves [PDF]
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf discs accumulated free proline when exposed to polyethylene glycol solutions of water potential less than -10 bars. At -20 bars, the accumulation was 11 micromoles per gram original fresh weight in a 24-hour period.When the leaf organelles were separated on a sucrose gradient, a proline oxidase was detected in the ...

Metformin Induces PRODH/POX-Dependent Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells
Although the antineoplastic activity of metformin (MET) is well established, the underlying mechanism of the activity is not understood. Since MET activates AMP kinase (AMPK) and proline dehydrogenase/proline oxidase (PRODH/POX) is stimulated by AMPK ...
