Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a mononuclear iron-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of L-cysteine to L-cysteine sulfinic acid. The mammalian CDO enzymes contain a thioether crosslink between Cys93 and Tyr157, and purified recombinant CDO exists as a mixture of the crosslinked and non crosslinked isoforms. The current study presents a method of expressing homogenously non crosslinked CDO using a cell permeative metal chelator in order to provide a comprehensive investigation of the non crosslinked and crosslinked isoforms. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis of purified non crosslinked CDO revealed that the iron was in the EPR silent Fe(II) form. Activity of non crosslinked CDO monitoring dioxygen utilization showed a distinct lag phase, which correlated with crosslink formation. Generation of homogenously crosslinked CDO resulted in an ∼5-fold higher kcat/Km value compared to the enzyme with a heterogenous mixture of crosslinked and non crosslinked CDO isoforms. EPR analysis of homogenously crosslinked CDO revealed that this isoform exists in the Fe(III) form. These studies present a new perspective on the redox properties of the active site iron and demonstrate that a redox switch commits CDO towards either formation of the Cys93-Tyr157 crosslink or oxidation of the cysteine substrate.

In mammals, l-cysteine (Cys) homeostasis is maintained by the mononuclear nonheme iron enzyme cysteine dioxygenase (CDO), which oxidizes Cys to cysteine sulfinic acid. CDO contains a rare post-translational modification, involving the formation of a thioether cross-link between a Cys residue at position 93 ( CDO numbering) and a nearby tyrosine at position 157 (Cys-Tyr cross-link). As-isolated CDO contains both the cross-linked and non-cross-linked isoforms, and formation of the Cys-Tyr cross-link during repeated enzyme turnover increases CDO's catalytic efficiency by ∼10-fold.

Article Synopsis
- Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is an enzyme that converts cysteine into cysteine sulfinic acid, with a unique crosslink enhancing its catalytic efficiency.
- The study focused on creating a variant of bacterial CDO (G82C) to test if a single DNA mutation could allow crosslink formation, showing that it indeed can form the crosslink but with lower efficiency than the wild-type enzyme.
- Bioinformatics revealed many potential crosslinked CDOs in Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, indicating a broader biological significance for this crosslink formation.

l-Cysteine (Cys) is an essential building block for the synthesis of new proteins and serves as a precursor for several biologically important sulfur-containing molecules, such as coenzyme A, taurine, glutathione, and inorganic sulfate. However, organisms must tightly regulate the concentration of free Cys, as elevated levels of this semi-essential amino acid can be extremely harmful. The non-heme iron enzyme cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) serves to maintain the proper levels of Cys by catalyzing its oxidation to cysteine sulfinic acid.

In the present study, AGHP laccase was immobilized on amino-functionalized cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO NPs) which was carried out by glutaraldehyde. The synthesized CdO NPs were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis which reflected the NPs had an average size of 35 nm with hexagonal and irregular shapes. Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) study of laccase with amino-functionalized CdO (lac-CdO) NPs confirmed the crosslinking of laccase with CdO NPs.

In recent years, considerable progress has been made toward elucidating the geometric and electronic structures of thiol dioxygenases (TDOs). TDOs catalyze the conversion of substrates with a sulfhydryl group to their sulfinic acid derivatives via the addition of both oxygen atoms from molecular oxygen. All TDOs discovered to date belong to the family of cupin-type mononuclear nonheme Fe(II)-dependent metalloenzymes.
