Metal coordination by L-amino acid oxidase derived from flounder Platichthys stellatus is structurally essential and regulates antibacterial activity
L-amino acid oxidases (LAAOs) have antibacterial activity and play important roles in innate immunity. We have previously identified a LAAO of ~52 kDa in size from the mucus layer of the flounder Platichthys stel...

Recombinant production and evaluation of an antibacterial l-amino acid oxidase derived from flounder Platichthys stellatus
Fish produce mucus substances as a defensive outer barrier against several bacterial infections. We have recently identified an antibacterial l-amino acid oxidase (psLAAO1) in the mucus layer of the flounder Plat...
