These mutants exhibited an elevated protease activity and, unlike the wild-type BepA, degraded LptD that is in the normal assembly pathway. In contrast, tethering of the α9/H246 loop repressed the LptD degradation, which suggests that the flexibility of this loop is important to the exhibition of protease activity. Based on these results, we propose that the α9/H246 loop undergoes a reversible structural change that enables His-246-mediated switching (histidine switch) of its protease activity, which is important for regulated degra
