Crystallographic structure of copper amine oxidase from Arthrobacter glibiformis at pD 7.4 determined by both X-ray and neutron diffraction data at 1.72 angstrom resolution.
This entry represents the first N-terminal domain (N2) of a group of copper amine oxidases, including PAOX from Arthrobacter globiformis (Swiss:P46881, also known as AGAO) [1-5].

Copper amine oxidases are a ubiquitous and novel group of quinoenzymes that catalyse the oxidative deamination of primary amines to the corresponding aldehydes, with concomitant reduction of molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. The enzymes are dimers of identical 70-90 kDa subunits, each of which contains a single copper ion and a covalently bound cofactor formed by the post-translational modification of a tyrosine side chain to 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone (TPQ). This family corresponds to the catalytic domain of the enzyme.
