Enzymatic characterization and interspecies difference of phenol sulfotransferases, ST1A forms.
Cytosolic sulfotransferases, which mediate activation and detoxification of both endogenous and exogenous compounds, consist of at least five different gene families (ST1 to ST5) in mammals. Several cDNAs corresponding to ST1A forms have been reported, but their functional properties are not well characterized. In addition, only a single form of ST1A sulfotransferase has been reported in each e...
متن کاملCharacterization of human iodothyronine sulfotransferases.
Sulfation is an important pathway of thyroid hormone metabolism that facilitates the degradation of the hormone by the type I iodothyronine deiodinase, but little is known about which human sulfotransferase isoenzymes are involved. We have investigated the sulfation of the prohormone T4, the active hormone T3, and the metabolites rT3 and 3,3'-diiodothyronine (3,3'-T2) by human liver and kidney ...
متن کاملBacterial expression of two human aryl sulfotransferases.
The effect of replacing a single codon in the N-terminal of human aryl sulfotransferase (HAST) 1 and 3 with one that is more commonly found in E. coli genes was assessed. The pKK233-2 E. coli expression vector was employed and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to introduce the 5' nucleotide substitution, at the same time maintaining the fidelity of the amino acid sequence. The data i...
متن کاملPhenol sulfotransferases: hormonal regulation, polymorphism, and age of onset of breast cancer.
In recent years, significant effort has been made to identify genes that influence breast cancer risk. Because the high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and 2 play a role only in a small fraction of breast cancer cases, understanding the genetic risk of the majority of breast cancers will require the identification and analysis of several lower penetrance genes. The estrogen-...
متن کاملStructural and functional characterisation of human sulfotransferases.
The human aryl sulfotransferases HAST4 and HAST4v vary by only two amino acids but exhibit markedly different affinity towards the sulfonate acceptor p-nitrophenol and the sulfonate donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). To determine the importance of each of these amino acid differences, chimeric constructs were made of HAST4 and HAST4v. By attaching the last 120 amino acids of HA...
