Sulfatases: Critical Enzymes for Algal Polysaccharide Processing [PDF]
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,

Matching the Diversity of Sulfated Biomolecules: Creation of a Classification Database for Sulfatases Reflecting Their Substrate Specificity [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Sulfatases cleave sulfate groups from various molecules and constitute a biologically and industrially important group of enzymes. However, the number of sulfatases whose substrate has been characterized is limited in comparison to the huge diversity of ...

Sulfated glycan recognition by carbohydrate sulfatases of the human gut microbiota [PDF]
Nature Chemical Biology, 2022 Sulfated glycans are ubiquitous nutrient sources for microbial communities that have coevolved with eukaryotic hosts. Bacteria metabolize sulfated glycans by deploying carbohydrate sulfatases that remove sulfate esters.

Mammalian Sulfatases: Biochemistry, Disease Manifestation, and Therapy. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Sulfatases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of sulfate from biological substances, an essential process for the homeostasis of the body. They are commonly activated by the unusual amino acid formylglycine, which is formed from cysteine at the ...

Identification and Signature Sequences of Bacterial Δ4,5Hexuronate-2-O-Sulfatases
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfatases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfate esters from GAGs, belong to a large and conserved sulfatase family. Bacterial GAG sulfatases are essential in the process of sulfur cycling and are useful for the structural ...
