Specificity studies on bovine adrenal estrogen sulfotransferase.
The substrate requirements for estrogen sulfotransferase have been examined. Structural changes in all four rings of the estratriene nucleus affected sulfation. The V,,, of the reaction was increased from 1.4 to 3.2 times over that of estrone by nitro groups at positions 2 or 4, or the 6-keto function, while in the presence of a Z-amino group sulfation decreased to 1’ ,,3 and saturation of the ...
متن کاملSteroid sulfatase and estrogen sulfotransferase in human endometrial carcinoma.
PURPOSE Intratumoral metabolism and synthesis of estrogens are considered to play important roles in the pathogenesis and/or development of human endometrial carcinoma. Steroid sulfatase hydrolyzes biologically inactive estrogen sulfates to active estrogens, whereas estrogen sulfotransferase sulfonates estrogens to estrogen sulfates. However, the status of steroid sulfatase and/or estrogen sulf...
متن کاملEstrogen sulfotransferase and steroid sulfatase in human breast carcinoma.
Estrogen sulfotransferase (EST; SULT 1E1 or STE gene) sulfonates estrogens to inactive estrogen sulfates, whereas steroid sulfatase (STS) hydrolyzes estrone sulfate to estrone. Both EST and STS have been suggested to play important roles in regulating the in situ production of estrogens in human breast carcinoma tissues. However, the expression of EST has not been examined in breast carcinoma t...
متن کاملTesticular steroid sulfatase. Substrate specificity and inhibition.
Kinetic studies of the cleavage of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (i) and androstenediol-3-sulfate by a particulate enzyme preparation from a rat testicular microsomal fraction gave K m values of 2.04 x 10-6M for DHA-S and 0.935 x 10-6M for androstenediol-3-sulfate with identical Vma x values° Inhibition studies with equimolar concentrations of substrate and inhibitor demonstrated that 5~-andro...
متن کاملClinical significance of the estrogen-modifying enzymes steroid sulfatase and estrogen sulfotransferase in epithelial ovarian cancer
17β-estradiol (E2) can contribute to the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Although the majority of patients with EOC are postmenopausal woman, when de novo estrogen production in the ovary has ceased, ovarian cancer cells remain exposed to estrogens synthesized locally in the cancer cells from inactive sulfonated steroid hormone precursors-such as estrone sulfate taken up from th...
