Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO, CAS number: 37256-59-0) is a mammalian non-heme iron enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid (cysteine sulfinate) via the incorporation of two dioxygen-derived oxygens. Large concentrations of cysteine are toxic, and have been implicated in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. CDO is also a tumor suppressor enzyme, that helps to prevent metastases by oxidizing the protective layer of cysteine that tumors surround themselves with in order to evade chemo- and radiation-generated hydroxyl radicals.

CDO reaction scheme showing cysteine sulfinic acid formation from cysteine by dioxygen incorporation


Mechanism The CDO mechanism is not well understood, but has been proposed to involve dioxygen(O2) binding cis to a thiolate to form reactive RS-Fe-superoxide (RS-Fe-O2•–), Fe-sulfenate (RS-O; a deprotonated sulfenic acid,[1] and high-valent iron-oxo intermediates. A reactive RS-Fe-superoxide (RS-Fe-O2•–) intermediate is also involved in the mechanism of Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS), however, rather than form an S-O bond, IPNS catalyzes C-S bond formation via hydrogen atom abstraction.

Cysteine sulfinic acid lies at a branch-point in cysteine catabolism, where it can follow two pathways resulting in the formation of taurine or sulfate. The cysteine sulfinic acid-dependent pathway of taurine metabolism follows the synthesis of hypotaurine (2-aminoethane sulfinate) which is subsequently oxidized to taurine. Also, cysteine sulfinate can undergo transamination to form β-sulfinylpyruvate, decomposing to form pyruvate and sulfite.
