Posttranslational Modification

EC Number	Posttranslational Modification	Comment	Organism
3.1.6.1	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
