Biochemical properties

This family contains trimeric proteins with high functional diversity found in all three domains of life [1]. RidA proteins (also named YjgF) have imine/enamine deaminase activity and function in removing toxic metabolic by-products [2]. Rat liver perchloric acid soluble protein (L-PSP) is an endoribunuclease that cleaves single-stranded DNA. L-PSP was shown to inhibit translation by cleaving mRNA [3].

Allergens from this family

The house dust mite allergen Der f 34 is the only known allergenic member of this family [4]. Der f 34 was shown to have imine deaminase activity and bound IgE from more than 60% of mite allergic patients. Furthermore, IgE cross-reactivity with the mold Aspergillus fumigatus was detected.
