Abstract

Formylglycine-generating enzyme (FGE) is an O <subscript>2</subscript> -utilizing oxidase that converts specific cysteine residues of client proteins to formylglycine. We show that Cu <superscript>I</superscript> is an integral cofactor of this enzyme and binds with high affinity (K <subscript>D</subscript> =of 10 <superscript>-17</superscript>  m) to a pair of active-site cysteines. These findings establish FGE as a novel type of copper enzyme.<br /> (© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.)
