Mitochondria isolated from etiolated shoots of corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) and mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) exhibited a proline-dependent O2 uptake subject to respiratory control. ADP/O ratios with proline as substrate were intermediate between ratios obtained with exogenous NADH and malate + pyruvate as substrates. Isotope studies showed proline metabolism to be dependent on O2, but not NAD. The major ninhydrin-positive product formed via .DELTA.1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid was glutamate. Mitochondria were capable of further metabolism of glutamate, as radioactive CO2, organic acids and aspartate were recovered after [14C]proline feeding experiments. The mitochondrial association and O2 dependence of plant proline metabolism were demonstrated.
