CDO1

Description


L-cysteine dioxygenase (CDO1) is an enzyme that weighs 22 kDa. CDO1 functions in the L-cysteine sulfinic acid taurine biosynthesis pathway, converting L-cysteine to L-cysteine sulfinic acid. [1]

Biology

Fig. 1. Taurine pathways in E. coli

CDO1 is part of the L-cysteine sulfinic acid pathway, one of three possible taurine synthesis pathways. CDO1 oxidizes L-cysteine naturally found in the intestine into L-cysteine sulfinic acid, which is later converted to taurine by CSAD.[1]

Usage

CDO1 was used in in vivo testing of taurine production. The sequence for CDO1 enzyme and trc promoter were ligated and transformed into E. coli to calculate taurine production using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Characterization

The cdo1 fragment was synthesized by IDT and amplified by PCR. Agarose gel electrophoresis result is shown in Fig. 2.
