Thioether bonds between the sidechains of cysteine and tyrosine have been well studied in cysteine dioxygenases[1]. Thioether bonds between cysteine and the vinyl groups of hemes are common. Diverse other ligands are bonded to protein via cysteine thioether linkages. (Note that the sidechain of methionine contains a thioether.)

An accurate estimate of the frequency of thioethers in the PDB may not be available. A search for "thioether" in Proteopedia yields >200 hits in abstracts of pages titled with 4-character PDB codes.
