Sulfotransferases and Sulfatases in Mycobacteria [PDF]
Chemistry & Biology, 2002 Analysis of the genomes of M. tuberculosis, M. leprae, M. smegmatis, and M. avium has revealed a large family of genes homologous to known sulfotransferases. Despite reports detailing a suite of sulfated glycolipids in many mycobacteria, a corresponding family of sulfotransferase genes remains uncharacterized.

Purification, Characterization, and Structural Studies of a Sulfatase from Pedobacter yulinensis
Molecules, 2021 Sulfatases are ubiquitous enzymes that hydrolyze sulfate from sulfated organic substrates such as carbohydrates, steroids, and flavones. These enzymes can be exploited in the field of biotechnology to analyze sulfated metabolites in humans, such as ...

Unraveling Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Binding Motif for Cancer Cell Selectivity
Frontiers in Oncology, 2019 Membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) regulate cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation and are therefore considered key players in cancer cell development processes.

Estrogen Formation and Inactivation Following TBI: What we Know and Where we Could go
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is responsible for various neuronal and cognitive deficits as well as psychosocial dysfunction. Characterized by damage inducing neuroinflammation, this response can cause an acute secondary injury that leads to widespread ...

Sulfatases: Critical Enzymes for Algal Polysaccharide Processing
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Microbial sulfatases are important biocatalysts in the marine environment where they play a key role in the catabolic biotransformation of abundant sulphated algal polysaccharides. The sulphate esters decorating algal polysaccharides, such as carrageenan,

Sulfatase 1 and sulfatase 2 as novel regulators of macrophage antigen presentation and phagocytosis [PDF]
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine, 2021 Background Sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) is critical for the binding and signaling of ligands that mediate inflammation. Extracellular 6-O-endosulfatases regulate posttranslational sulfation levels and patterns of HSPGs.

Post-synthetic regulation of HS structure: the yin and yang of the Sulfs in Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2014 Heparan sulfate (HS) is a complex polysaccharide that takes part in most major cellular processes, through its ability to bind and modulate a very large array of proteins.
