2.8.2.22

Accepted name:

aryl-sulfate sulfotransferase

Reaction:

an aryl sulfate + a phenol = a phenol + an aryl sulfate

Other name(s):

arylsulfate-phenol sulfotransferase; arylsulfotransferase (ambiguous); ASST; arylsulfate sulfotransferase; arylsulfate:phenol sulfotransferase; astA (gene name); aryl-sulfate:phenol sulfotransferase

Systematic name:

aryl-sulfate:phenol sulfonotransferase

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from bacteria that colonize the human and mouse intestine, catalyses the transfer of a sulfate group from a phenol sulfate ester to other phenolic compounds. Activity is enhanced by Mg²⁺ and Mn²⁺ [1]. Unlike EC 2.8.2.9, tyrosine-ester sulfotransferase and EC 2.8.2.1, aryl sulfotransferase, the enzyme does not act on 3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate or adenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate [1].The level of sulfation of polyphenols depends on the positions of the hydroxyl groups [3-5]. Hydroxy groups of tyrosine residues in peptides such as angiotensin can also act as acceptors [2]. The reaction proceeds according to a ping pong bi bi mechanism [6].
