Abstract excerpt
L-Thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (T4C, thiaproline) is a sulfur-containing proline analog that stimulates the immune system in aging mice and inhibits urinary tract pathogens such as Escherichia coli. A constitutive NADP+-dependent T4C dehydrogenase activity was detected in the soluble fraction of a putA::Tn5 mutant of E. coli lacking l-proline dehydrogenase and partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation,...
