Disease relevance of proline betaine

  • The stachydrine catabolism region in Sinorhizobium meliloti encodes a multi-enzyme complex similar to the xenobiotic degrading systems in other bacteria [1].
  • Exogenous proline betaine ( stachydrine or N- dimethylproline ) or gamma-butyrobetaine (gamma-trimethylaminobutyrate), at a concentration as low as 1 mM, were found to stimulate the growth rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae, wild type M5A1 , in media of inhibitory osmotic strength (0.8 M NaC1) [2].
 

High impact information on proline betaine

  • Sequence and mutagenesis data suggest that stachydrine is demethylated by an iron-sulfur monooxygenase of the Rieske type with a requirement for a specific reductase [1].
  • Other open reading frames, encoding a putative flavoprotein and a repressor, were judged not to be required for stachydrine catabolism, since they were not included in a fragment capable of complementing a deletion of the entire stc region [1].
  • Orientia shares the important ATP/ADP translocase and proline-betaine transporter multigene families with Rickettsia, but has more gene families that may be involved in regulatory and transporter responses to environmental stimuli [3].
