The final step in proline biosynthesis is catalyzed by three pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductases, PYCR1, PYCR2, and PYCR3, which convert pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) to proline. Mutations in humanPYCR1andALDH18A1(P5C Synthetase) cause Cutis Laxa (CL), whereas mutations inPYCR2cause hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 10 (HLD10). Here, we investigated the genetics ofPycr1 and Pycr2in mice. A null allele ofPycr1did not show integument or CL-related phenotypes. We also studied a novel chemically-induced mutation inPycr2. Mice with recessive loss-of-function mutations inPycr2showed phenotypes consistent with neurological and neuromuscular disorders, including weight loss, kyphosis, and hind-limb clasping. The peripheral nervous system was largely unaffected, with only mild axonal atrophy in peripheral nerves. A severe loss of subcutaneous fat inPycr2 mutant mice is reminiscent of a CL-like phenotype, but primary features such as elastin abnormalities were not observed. AgedPycr2mutant mice had reduced white blood cell counts and altered lipid metabolism, suggesting a generalized metabolic disorder. PYCR1 and -2 have similar enzymatic and cellular activities, and consistent with previous studies, both were localized in the mitochondria in fibroblasts. BothPYCR1and-2were able to complement the loss of Pro3, the yeast enzyme that converts P5C to proline, confirming their activity as P5C reductases. In mice,Pycr1; Pycr2double mutants were sub-viable and unhealthy compared to either single mutant, indicating the genes are largely functionally redundant. Proline levels were not reduced, and precursors were not increased in serum fromPycr2mutant mice or in lysates from skin fibroblast cultures, but placingPycr2mutant mice on a proline-free diet worsened the phenotype. Thus,Pycr1and-2have redundant functions in proline biosynthesis, and their loss makes proline a semi-essential amino acid. These findings have implications for understanding the genetics of CL and HLD10, and for modeling these disorders in mice.
