SUMF1

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sulfate esters by oxidizing a cysteine residue in the substrate sulfatase to an active site 3-oxoalanine residue, which is also known as C-alpha-formylglycine. Mutations in this gene cause multiple sulfatase deficiency, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Sulfatase Modifying Factor 1

Oxidase that catalyzes the conversion of cysteine to 3-oxoalanine on target proteins, using molecular oxygen and an unidentified reducing agent (PubMed:12757706, PubMed:15657036, PubMed:15907468, PubMed:25931126, PubMed:16368756, PubMed:21224894).
3-oxoalanine modification, which is also named formylglycine (fGly), occurs in the maturation of arylsulfatases and some alkaline phosphatases that use the hydrated form of 3-oxoalanine as a catalytic nucleophile (PubMed:12757706, PubMed:15657036, PubMed:15907468, PubMed:25931126, PubMed:16368756).
Known substrates include GALNS, ARSA, STS and ARSE (PubMed:12757706, PubMed:15907468, PubMed:15657036).

Endoplasmic reticulum lumen

Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD):
A clinically and biochemically heterogeneous disorder caused by the simultaneous impairment of all sulfatases, due to defective post-translational modification and activation. It combines features of individual sulfatase deficiencies such as metachromatic leukodystrophy, mucopolysaccharidosis, chondrodysplasia punctata, hydrocephalus, ichthyosis, neurologic deterioration and developmental delay.
