2.8.2.30

Accepted name:

[heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 3

Reaction:

3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine = adenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate + [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfate

Glossary:

3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate = PAPS
heparan sulfate: for definition click here

Other name(s):

3′-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:[heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase

Systematic name:

3′-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:[heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfonotransferase

Comments:

Two major substrates contain the tetrasaccharides: → undetermined 2-sulfo-uronic acid→ GlcN₂S→ IdoA2S→ GlcN*→ and → undetermined 2-sulfo-uronic acid→ GlcN₂S→ IdoA2S→ GlcN₆S*→ (symbols as in 2-Carb-38) with modification of the N-unsubstituted glucosamine residue (shown with an asterisk) [1,4]. Modification of selected sequences containing N-sulfo-glucosamine residues cannot yet be excluded. The 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate can be utilized by Herpes simplex virus type 1 as an entry receptor to infect the target cells [2]. There are two isozymes, known as 3-OST-3A and 3-OST-3B, which have identical catalytic domains but are encoded by different mammalian genes [3]. The specificity of this enzyme differs from that of the other [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferases. It is inefficient at modifying precursors of the antithrombin binding site [in contrast to EC 2.8.2.23 ([heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 1)] and it does not modify glucosamine preceded by GlcA2S [unlike EC 2.8.2.29 ([heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 2)].
