ENZYME entry: EC 1.8.3.7

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.8.3.7
Accepted Name
formylglycine-generating enzyme
Alternative Name(s)
Calpha-formylglycine-generating enzyme 1
sulfatase-modifying factor 1
Reaction catalysed
L-cysteinyl-[sulfatase] + 2 a thiol + O2 = an organic disulfide + 3-oxo-L-alanyl-[sulfatase] + hydrogen sulfide + H2O + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, which is found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, catalyzes a modification of a conserved L-cysteine residue in the active site of sulfatases, generating a unique 3-oxo-L-alanine residue that is essential for sulfatase activity.
  • The exact nature of the thiol involved is still not clear - dithiothreitol and cysteamine are the most efficiently used thiols in vitro.
  • Glutathione alo acts in vitro, but it is not known whether it is used in vivo.
