چکیده
Known spectroscopic and kinetic data are used to formulate pathways of the physiological and transfer reactions and the substrate inhibition of phenol sulfotransferase. Kinetic mechanisms indicate that release of PAP from enzyme complex is required for the physiological reaction but not for the transfer reaction. The pathways explain rate difference between the physiological and transfer reactions since the release of PAP is the rate-limiting step of the former reaction. Two enzyme species of phenol sulfotransferase which distinguish the physiological and transfer reaction were found to involve the binding of PAP. Differences between two forms of phenol sulfotransferase, alpha and beta, indicate that they assemble through different folding process. It is demonstrated that only alpha enzyme renatures in the presence of PAP and beta enzyme renatures only in the absence of PAP in vitro. In the over-expressed system, formation of alpha and beta phenol sulfotransferase is also dependent on the availability of PAP in Escherichia coli. It is concluded that folding of phenol sulfotransferase is assisted by PAP to form alpha enzyme. In the absence of PAP, beta form of phenol sulfotransferase is produced.

A simple colorimetric assay for phenotyping the major human thermostable phenol sulfotransferase (SULT1A1) using platelet cytosols.
A thermostable phenol sulfotransferase, SULT1A1, has been implicated in numerous detoxification and bioactivation pathways; however, little is known regarding its endogenous function or its putative role in mediating risk for human environmental disease. A simple endpoint colorimetric assay is described that can be used for rapid phenotyping of SULT1A1 activity in human populations. The assay u...
متن کاملStudies on the Arylsulphatase and phenol sulphotransferase activities of Aspergillus oryzae.
1. Crude extracts of Aspergillus oryzae grown under conditions of sulphur limitation possess high arylsulphatase activity. 2. This activity can be greatly enhanced by the inclusion of tyramine or a number of other phenols in the assay medium. 3. The arylsulphatase activity of these extracts can be resolved into three distinct fractions by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. 4. The effect of tyram...
متن کاملFluorometric assay for alcohol sulfotransferase.
A sensitive fluorometric assay was developed for alcohol sulfotransferase (AST). This was the first continuous fluorometric assay reported for AST. It used 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate regenerated from 3-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate by a recombinant phenol sulfotransferase (PST) using 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfate as the sulfuryl group donor. The recombinant PST did not use the alcohol...
متن کاملA single mutation converts the nucleotide specificity of phenol sulfotransferase from PAP to AMP.
Sulfotransferases (STs) catalyze all the known biological sulfonations, in which a sulfuryl group from a common sulfonate donor such as 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is transferred to a nucleophilic acceptor. In addition to PAPS, phenol sulfotransferase (PST), a member of the ST family, utilizes other nucleotides as substrates with much less catalytic efficiency [Lin, E. S., and ...
متن کاملCrystal structure and mutational analysis of heparan sulfate 3-O-sulfotransferase isoform 1.
Heparan sulfate interacts with antithrombin, a protease inhibitor, to regulate blood coagulation. Heparan sulfate 3-O-sulfotransferase isoform 1 performs the crucial last step modification in the biosynthesis of anticoagulant heparan sulfate. This enzyme transfers the sulfuryl group (SO(3)) from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to the 3-OH position of a glucosamine residue to form the 3-O-...
