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.
