Membrane binding of the insertion sequence of Proteus vulgaris L-amino acid deaminase stabilizes protein structure and increases catalytic activity

Abstract Proteus vulgaris L-amino acid deaminase (pvLAAD) belongs to a class of bacterial membrane-bound LAADs mainly express in genus Proteus, Providencia and Morganella. These LAADs employ a non-cleavable N-terminal twin-arginine translocation (Tat) peptide to transport across membrane and bind to...

We further found that when cell membrane is present, the catalytic activity can be increased by 8~10 folds for wild-type but not INS-mutated pvLAAD, indicating that the INS-membrane interaction is necessary for increasing activity of pvLAAD.
