Effect of various carboxylates on ALR and ALRA131K activities. ALR and ALRA131K were assayed for 5 min at 30 °C and pH 7.0 (MES buffer) using 20 mM l-alanine as the substrate in the presence of the indicated carboxylates (1 mM). The specific activities of ALR and ALRA131K at 100 % were 171 ± 0.559 and 527 ± 5.17 μmol/min mg, respectively (n = 3). Open bars, ALR activities; filled bars, ALRA131K activities
