Abstract

GoxA is a glycine oxidase bearing a protein-derived cysteine tryptophylquinone (CTQ) cofactor that is formed by posttranslational modifications catalyzed by a flavoprotein, GoxB. Two forms of GoxA were isolated: an active form with mature CTQ and an inactive precursor protein that lacked CTQ. The active GoxA was present as a homodimer with no detectable affinity for GoxB, whereas the precursor was isolated as a monomer in a tight complex with one GoxB. Thus, the interaction of GoxA with GoxB and subunit assembly of mature GoxA are each dependent on the extent of CTQ biosynthesis.
