FunFam 7: Formylglycine-generating enzyme family protein

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Formylglycine-generating enzyme. [EC: 1.8.3.7]
A [sulfatase]-L-cysteine + O(2) + 2 a thiol = a [sulfatase]-3-oxo-L- alanine + hydrogen sulfide + a disulfide + H(2)O.
  • 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.
