The possible sulfatase activity of several carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms have been investigated with a series of synthesized methanesulfonate derivatives of phenols. Four α-CA isozymes, i.e. hCA I, hCA II, hCA IV and hCA VI (h = human

Both phosphoryl and sulfuryl transfers are ubiquitous in biology, being involved in a wide range of processes, ranging from cell division to apoptosis. Additionally, it is becoming increasingly clear that enzymes that can catalyze phosphoryl transfer can often cross-catalyze sulfuryl

We have developed a continuous spectrophotometric coupled-enzyme assay for sulfotransferase activity. This assay is based on the regeneration of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) from the desulfated 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphate (PAP) by a recombinant aryl sulfotransferase using p-nitrophenyl sulfate as the sulfate donor and visible

The sulfation of a nucleotide is an indispensable step for the sulfuryl group transfer in a biological system. The product and cosubstrate of sulfotransferase in physiological condition are adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate (PAP) and 3'-phospho adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), respectively. We find that
