Abstract

The PRO3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes the 286-amino-acid protein delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase [L-proline:NAD(P+) 5-oxidoreductase; EC 1.5.1.2], which catalyzes the final step in proline biosynthesis. The protein has substantial similarity to the pyrroline carboxylate reductases of diverse bacterial species, soybean, and humans. Using RNA hybridization and measurements of enzyme activity, we have determined that the expression of the PRO3 gene appears to be constitutive. It is not repressed by the pathway end product (proline), induced by the initial substrate (glutamate), or regulated by the general control system. Its expression is not detectably altered when cells are grown in a wide range of nitrogen sources or when glycerol and ethanol replace glucose as the carbon source. The possibility that this enzyme has other functions in addition to proline biosynthesis is discussed.
