Structural highlights
Function
PY2CR_PSEUB Catalyzes the reduction of both Delta(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate (Pyr2C) and Delta(1)-piperideine-2-carboxylate (Pip2C) to L-proline and L-pipecolate, respectively, using NADPH as the electron donor. Can catalyze the reverse oxidation reactions, albeit at a much lower rate. Is also able to catalyze in vitro the NADPH-dependent formation of N-methylalanine from pyruvate and N-methylamine; can act on other alpha-keto acids and specifically uses methylamine and not ammonia for these reductive amination reactions. Can use NADH instead of NADPH, although with much less efficiency.[1]
