Proline utilization A

Function

Proline utilization A (PutA) or bifunctional protein PutA is a bifunctional flavoprotein which acts as a transcriptional repressor of the put regulon or as a membrane-bound enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of proline to glutamate. PutA domains include the DNA-binding domain (PRODH), the FAD-dependent proline dehydrogenase domain and the D-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase domain. The binding of proline to the PRODH active site and subsequent reduction of FAD causes a conformation change in PutA and enhance its membrane affinity. As a membrane-bound protein PutA switches from its repressor activity to its enzymatic role^[1].
