A non-heme iron protein that is involved in the biosynthesis of taurine. 3-Aminopropanethiol (homocysteamine) and 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol (2-mercaptoethanol) can also act as substrates, but glutathione, cysteine, and cysteine ethyl- and methyl esters are not good substrates [1,3].

2-aminoethanethiol:oxygen oxidoreductase
A non-heme iron protein that is involved in the biosynthesis of taurine. 3-Aminopropanethiol (homocysteamine) and 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol (2-mercaptoethanol) can also act as substrates, but glutathione, cysteine, and cysteine ethyl- and methyl esters are not good substrates [1,3].
Fe(III)ADO incubated with azide displays a rhombic, high-spin (S = 5/2) EPR signal that closely resembles that of purified ADO. Azide may bind to the Fe(III)ADO active site by replacing a ligand with comparable donor strength, likely a solvent-derived hydroxide. Azide is unable to coordinate to cysteamine-bound Fe(III)ADO
cyanide binds to either cysteamine- or Cys-bound Fe(III)ADO, binding causes the appearance of a dominant low-spin (S = 1/2) EPR signal and a small but noticeable change to the electronic absorption spectrum
weak competitive inhibitor, Cys can bind directly to the ADO iron center with formation of a low-spin (S=1/2) FeIII complex. The ratio of low-spin to high-spin ferric species can be modulated by the addition of glycerol, with the high-spin Cys-FeIII-ADO complex being the predominant form in the absence of a glassing agent
substrate cysteamine is capable of reducing the catalytically inactive ferric center to the enzymatically active ferrous state. Presence of cysteamine alters the binding behavior of nitric oxide to the nonheme iron center of ADO
higher activity than in rat kidney. Hypotaurine is measurable in kidney, but levels are significantly higher in kidneys of the knock-out mice compared to wild-type mice.
higher activity than in rat liver. hypotaurine is not in liver of either Vanin-1 (+/+) or Vanin-1 (-/-) mice that had been fed a non-purified rodent diet.
functional roles of ADO in metabolism include removal of thiol substrates (cysteamine), thus regulating cysteine or cysteamine levels in body tissues and fluids and production of hypotaurine/taurine from cysteine metabolite cysteamine
in the presence of nitric oxide as a spin probe and oxygen surrogate, both cysteamine and the peptide substrate regulator of G protein signaling 5 coordinate the iron center with their free thiols in a monodentate binding mode. A substrate-bound B-type dinitrosyl iron center complex is observed, as well as a substrate-mediated reduction of the iron center from ferric to the ferrous oxidation state with possible disulfide formation of the substrates
substrates 2-aminoethanol and 3-mercaptopropionic acid bind to ADO in the same manner, potentially in a monodentate fashion through the terminal thiolate. The high-spin ferric species exhibit a more axial zero-field splitting relative to that reported for Cys-bound FeIIICDO

CRYSTALLIZATION (Commentary)
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
structure of cysteamine dioxygenase at 1.9 A resolution, an Fe and three-histidine (3-His) active site is situated at the end of a wide substrate access channel. Whole-protein models of ADO in complex with either cysteamine or an N-terminal-Cys peptide suggest occlusion of access to the active site by peptide substrate binding. A small tunnel that leads from the opposite face of the enzyme into the active site provides a path through which co-substrate O2 can access the Fe center. The entrance to the tunnel is guarded by two Cys residues that may form a disulfide bond to regulate O2 delivery
