Abstract excerpt
Pyridoxal-phosphate binding proteins (PLPBP) are involved in the homeostasis of B6 vitamers and amino/keto acids, share a high degree of sequence conservation and are represented in all three domains of life. Despite the obligate presence of the catalyst cofactor PLP, attempts to show enzymatic activity have been unsuccessful. Instead, evidence of RNA binding activity has been provided for several members of the...
