EC 2.3.1.271     
Accepted name: L-glutamate-5-semialdehyde N-acetyltransferase
Reaction: acetyl-CoA + L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde = CoA + N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde
Other name(s): MPR1 (gene name); MPR2 (gene name)
Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:L-glutamate-5-semialdehyde N-acetyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Σ1278b, N-acetylates L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde, an L-proline biosynthesis/utilization intermediate, into N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde, an intermediate of L-arginine biosynthesis, under oxidative stress conditions. Its activity results in conversion of L-proline to L-arginine, and reduction in the concentration of L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde and its equilibrium partner, (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate, which has been linked to production of reactive oxygen species stress. The enzyme also acts on (S)-1-acetylazetidine-2-carboxylate, a toxic L-proline analog produced by some plants, resulting in its detoxification and conferring resistance on the yeast.
