General description

L-Alanine Dehydrogenase has a N-terminal substrate-binding domain and a C-terminal NAD-binding domain.

Application

L-Alanine Dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis has been used in the carbon nanotube columns for H2-driven biocatalysis hydrogenation studies.
L-Alanine dehydrogenase converts L-alanine to pyruvate and ammonium. L-Alanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis may be used to study enzyme inactivation and protection .

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Alanine Dehydrogenase is essential for sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
L-Alanine dehydrogenase is a stereospecific dehydrogenase that catalyzes the reversible deamination of L-alanine to pyruvate and ammonium. It is important for the generation of pyruvate during sporulation. L-Alanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis has a predominately ordered kinetic mechanism in which NAD binds before L-alanine. Subsequently, ammonia, pyruvate and NADH are released in that specific order. Optimal pH for the amination reaction is 8.8-9.0, whereas it is 10-10.5 for the deamination reaction. The enzyme is inactivated by divalent metal ions and p-chloromercuribenzoate, mercuric ion being most effective. The inactivation may be reversed by L- or D-cysteine.

Physical form

Suspension in 2.4 M (NH4)2SO4 solution, pH 7.0

Other Notes

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of L-alanine to pyruvate and NH3 per min at pH 10.0 at 25 °C.
