Structural highlights
Function
[HYPRE_PSEAE] Allows intracellular utilization of 4-hydroxyproline, one of the major constituents of host collagen, by converting 4-hydroxy-L-proline to 4-hydroxy-D-proline, which can be further metabolized by intracellular 4-hydroxy-D-proline oxidases. Strong B-cell mitogen. Plays an important role in the regulation of intra- and extracellular amino acid pools, allowing the bacterium to profit from host precursors and enzymatic pathways.
