Function

GAOA_GIBZA Catalyzes the sterospecific oxidation of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes. The biologically relevant substrate of the enzyme is not known as the enzyme exhibits broad substrate specificity from small alcohols through sugars to oligo- and polysaccharides.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Galactose oxidase (EC ) is a monomeric enzyme that contains a single copper ion and catalyses the stereospecific oxidation of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. The protein contains an unusual covalent thioether bond between a tyrosine, which acts as a radical center during the two-electron reaction, and a cysteine. The enzyme is produced in a precursor form lacking the thioether bond and also possessing an additional 17-aa pro-sequence at the N terminus. Previous work has shown that the aerobic addition of Cu(2+) to the precursor is sufficient to generate fully processed mature enzyme. The structure of the precursor protein has been determined to 1.4 A, revealing the location of the pro-sequence and identifying structural differences between the precursor and the mature protein. Structural alignment of the precursor and mature forms of galactose oxidase shows that five regions of main chain and some key residues of the active site differ significantly between the two forms. The precursor structure provides a starting point for modeling the chemistry of thioether bond formation and pro-sequence cleavage.
