Unveiling a trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline substrate binding protein in Vibrio spp.
Free trans -4-hydroxy-L-proline (T4LHyp), primarily released during the natural degradation of collagen, is absorbed and catabolised by heterotrophic bacteria, contributing to the global recycling of carbon and nitrogen. While bacterial T4LHyp catabolism is well documented, our understanding on how bacteria recog...
