Beta-sulfoalanine also known as 3-sulfo-l-alanine is the organic compound with the formula HO3SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H.
Beta-sulfoalanine is often referred to as cysteate, which near neutral pH takes the form −O3SCH2CH(NH3+)CO2−.

Beta-sulfoalanine is an amino acid generated by oxidation of cysteine, whereby a thiol group is fully oxidized to a sulfonic acid/sulfonate group.

The enzyme L-cysteate sulfo-lyase catalyzes this conversion.

Beta-sulfoalanine is a biosynthetic precursor to taurine in microalgae.
By contrast, most taurine in animals is made from cysteine sulfinate.

Beta-sulfoalanine and cysteine sulfinic acid (metabolic intermediates from taurine biosynthesis in the brain) significantly reduce [3H]taurine uptake in cultured neurons, whereas cysteine, isethionic acid, cysteamine, and cystamine exhibit no alterations in taurine transport.

Beta-sulfoalanine is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655).

Beta-sulfoalanine is a natural product found in Phaseolus vulgaris and Homo sapiens with data available.

Beta-sulfoalanine can be readily oxidized, where the main degradation products are mixed disulfides within one molecule, disulfide cross-links between molecules, and sulfenic, sulfinic, and Beta-sulfoalanine.
Transition metals such as Cu2+ and Fe3+ can catalyze the formation of disulfide bonds.

As an example, human fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) forms dimers as the result of intermolecular disulfides by copper-catalyzed oxidation.
These metal-catalyzed reactions generally can occur without a neighboring thiol group.

In the absence of transition metals the formation of new intramolecular or intermolecular disulfide bridges generally requires a nearby free thiol group that breaks apart the existing native disulfide bridge and then the free thiol can reoxidize to form the disulfide bridge.
Since this reaction requires a free thiol anion (pKa is ∼9) an increase in the solution pH will result in an increase in formation of mixed disulfide.

However, the pKa values for Beta-sulfoalanine can vary depending on the proximity of other ionizing groups in the tertiary structure.
These interactions are primarily electrostatic in nature and since the ionization of these neighboring groups changes with the pH the pKa values of the Beta-sulfoalanine residues will be a function of pH.

As an example, the thiol pKa in papain for the active site Cys 25 has been estimated to be 4.1 at pH 6 and 8.4 at pH 9.
This observation suggests that at pH 6 there is a His residue with positive charge in close proximity to Beta-sulfoalanine 25, whereas at pH 9 the electrostatic interactions are dominated by close negatively charged residues such as Asp or Glu residues.

The effects of local electrostatic environments on thiol pKa values and disulfide exchange have been discussed by Snyder, Cennerazzo, Karalis, and Field (1981).
Ion pairing with His residues has also been proposed for the decrease in the Cys pKa values.

Beta-sulfoalanine has been used to couple to hydrophobic labels like Cyanine and Rhodamine dyes and other hydrophobic residues to increase their solubility in water.
