EC 6.2.1.53

Accepted name: L-proline—[L-prolyl-carrier protein] ligase

Reaction: ATP + L-proline + holo-[L-prolyl-carrier protein] = AMP + diphosphate + L-prolyl-[L-prolyl-carrier protein] (overall reaction)
(1a) ATP + L-proline = diphosphate + (L-prolyl)adenylate
(1b) (L-prolyl)adenylate + holo-[L-prolyl-carrier protein] = AMP + L-prolyl-[L-prolyl-carrier protein]

Other name(s): pltF (gene name); bmp4 (gene name); pigI (gene name)

Systematic name: L-proline:[L-prolyl-carrier protein] ligase (AMP-forming)

Comments: The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of several pyrrole-containing compounds, such as undecylprodigiosin, prodigiosin, pyoluteorin, and coumermycin A1. It catalyses the activation of L-proline to an adenylate form, followed by its transfer to the 4'-phosphopantheine moiety of an L-prolyl-carrier protein.
