Cysteine oxygenase/2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase

InterPro entry
Short namePCO/ADO
Overlapping
homologous
superfamilies
 

Description

This entry includes cysteine oxidases (PCOs) from plants and 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenases (ADOs) from animals. PCOs oxidize N-terminal cysteine residues, thus preparing the protein for N-end rule pathway-mediated proteasomal degradation
[1]
. ADO is responsible for endogenous cysteamine dioxygenase activity
