Sulfotransferases

Abstract: The sulfotransferases (SULTs) are a family of phase II enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sulfonate group (‐SO 3− ) from the cofactor 3′‐phosphoadenosine‐5′‐phosphosulfate (PAPS) to an acceptor molecule or substrate. Since these enzymes can conjugate with a wide variety of xenobiotics and endogenous substrates, they function not only as drug‐metabolizing enzymes but also modulators of physiological activities through conjugations of endogenous molecules such as steroids, catecholam… Show more

“…Therefore, the phosphate group on 3′‐phosphate‐binding loop of PAPS and PAP are likely to remain dianion state in the current luciferin sulfotransferase. The phosphate diester of 5′‐phosphate (phosphosulfate)‐binding loop in PAPS and PAP would be anionic basing on previous report (42), and the sulfuryl group with a pK a about 1 (43) in PAPS would also be ionized because the physical condition of firefly is near‐neutral (pH=7.4) (44). For convenience, we labeled the ionized state of PAP and PAPS as d ‐ PAP and d ‐ PAPS , respectively (see Figs.…”
