ID 1.21.4.1 DE D-proline reductase. CA 5-aminopentanoate + [PrdC protein]-Se-L-selenocysteinyl-S-L-cysteine = CA [PrdC protein]-L-selenocysteine/L-cysteine + D-proline. CC -!- A pyruvoyl- and L-selenocysteine-containing enzyme found in a number CC of Clostridial species. CC -!- The pyruvoyl group, located on the PrdA subunit, binds the substrate, CC while the selenocysteine residue, located on the PrdB subunit, CC attacks the alpha-C-atom of D-proline, leading to a reductive CC cleavage of the C-N-bond of the pyrrolidine ring and formation of a CC selenoether. CC -!- The selenoether is cleaved by a cysteine residue of PrdB, resulting CC in a mixed selenide-sulfide bridge, which is restored to its reduced CC state by another selenocysteine protein, PrdC. CC -!- 5-aminopentanoate is released from PrdA by hydrolysis, regenerating CC the pyruvoyl moiety. CC -!- The resulting mixed selenide-sulfide bridge in PrdC is reduced by CC NADH. CC -!- Formerly EC 1.4.1.6 and EC 1.4.4.1. DR Q9Z4P6, PRDA_ACESD ; Q9Z4Q7, PRDB_ACESD ; //
