Phenylalanine Hydroxylase from Legionella pneumophila Is a Thermostable Enzyme with a Major Functional Role in Pyomelanin Synthesis

BACKGROUND: Legionella pneumophila is a pathogenic bacterium that can cause Legionnaires’ disease and other non-pneumonic infections in humans. This bacterium produces a pyomelanin pigment, a potential virulence factor with ferric reductase activity. In this work, we have investigated the role of ph...
