EC 4.2.1.172

Accepted name: trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline dehydratase

Reaction: trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline = (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate + H2O

Glossary: 1-pyrroline = 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole

Systematic name: trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline hydro-lyase

Comments: The enzyme has been characterized from the bacterium Peptoclostridium difficile. The active form contains a glycyl radical that is generated by a dedicated activating enzyme via chemistry involving S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
