A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.8.3.7

Accepted Name
Formylglycine-generating enzyme.
Alternative Name(s)
C-alpha-formylglycine-generating enzyme 1.
Sulfatase-modifying factor 1.
Reaction catalysed
A [sulfatase]-L-cysteine + O(2) + 2 a thiol <=> a [sulfatase]-3-oxo-L-alanine + hydrogen sulfide + a disulfide + H(2)O
Cofactor(s)
Ca(2+); Cu cation.
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.
