Ca2+
-
4fold activation for Glu 2-naphthylamide at 0.1 mM and above
Fe2+
activates over 2fold at 1 mM
Mg2+
activates slightly at 1 mM
NaCl
a salt-tolerant aspartyl aminopeptidase, the relative activity of the enzyme remains 85% in 3 M NaCl solution for 15 days, Km and Vmax are slightly affected in 3 M NaCl solution. Enzyme structure homology modelling, molecular dynamics simulation, secondary structure, acidic residues and hydrophobicity of interior residues demonstrate that aspartyl aminopeptidase has a greater stability than non-salttolerant protease in high salinity. Higher contents of ordered secondary structures, more salt bridges between hydrated surface acidic residues and specific basic residues, and stronger hydrophobicity of interior residues are the salt-tolerance mechanisms of aspartyl aminopeptidase
