Formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE) performs a critical posttranslational modification of type I sulfatases, converting cysteine within the motif CxPxR to the aldehyde-bearing residue formylglycine (FGly). This concise motif can be installed within heterologous proteins as a genetically encoded "aldehyde tag"

N-formylglycine was developed as a dead-end inhibitor of the succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase reaction. At 4 mM, it inhibited Aspergillus niger succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase by 40%. N-formylglycine is a reversible, complete inhibitor; the inhibition is competitive with succinic semialdehyde and uncompetitive

Single crystals of the 1:1 complex of the nucleic acid base cytosine and the dipeptide N-formylglycine (C.NFG) have been irradiated at 10 and 273 K to doses of about 70 kGy and studied at temperatures between 10 and 293 K

Type I sulfatases require an unusual co- or post-translational modification for their activity in hydrolyzing sulfate esters. In eukaryotic sulfatases, an active site cysteine residue is oxidized to the aldehyde-containing C(alpha)-formylglycine residue by the formylglycine-generating enzyme (FGE). The machinery responsible

The alkaline phosphatase superfamily comprises a large number of hydrolytic metalloenzymes such as phosphatases and sulfatases. We have characterised a new member of this superfamily, a phosphonate monoester hydrolase/phosphodiesterase from Rhizobium leguminosarum (R/PMH) both structurally and kinetically. The 1.42 A
