expression in active form in a sulfatase-deficient strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, thereby restoring growth on aromatic sulfates as sole sulfur source, and in Escherichia coli.Cysteine is also converted to formylglycine in Escherichia coli | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |

Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
side-chain modification | formylglycine is generated by posttranslational modification of a conserved cysteine residue. Cysteine is also converted to formylglycine when the gene is expressed in Escherichia coli. Substituting the relevant cysteine by a serine codon in the gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa leads to expression of inactive sulfatase protein, lacking the formylglycine. The machinery catalyzing the modification of the Pseudomonas sulfatase in E. coli therefore accepts cysteine but not serine as a modification substrate | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
