New Insights into the Plutella xylostella Detoxifying Enzymes: Sequence Evolution, Structural Similarity, Functional Diversity, and Application Prospects of Glucosinolate Sulfatases [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2023
Brassica plants have glucosinolate (GLs)-myrosinase defense mechanisms to deter herbivores. However, Plutella xylostella specifically feeds on Brassica vegetables.

Secreted sulfatases Sulf1 and Sulf2 have overlapping yet essential roles in mouse neonatal survival.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundHeparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) use highly sulfated polysaccharide side-chains to interact with several key growth factors and morphogens, thereby regulating their accessibility and biological activity.

Functions and specificity of bacterial carbohydrate sulfatases targeting host glycans. [PDF]

open access: yesEssays Biochem, 2023
Sulfated host glycans (mucin O-glycans and glycosaminoglycans [GAGs]) are critical nutrient sources and colonisation factors for Bacteroidetes of the human gut microbiota (HGM); a complex ecosystem comprising essential microorganisms that coevolved with ...

Sulfated glycan recognition by carbohydrate sulfatases of the human gut microbiota

open access: yesNature 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.

The Role of Sulfation in Nematode Development and Phenotypic Plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Sulfation is poorly understood in most invertebrates and a potential role of sulfation in the regulation of developmental and physiological processes of these organisms remains unclear. Also, animal model system approaches did not identify many sulfation-

Mammalian Sulfatases: Biochemistry, Disease Manifestation, and Therapy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 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 ...

Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1977
Placental steroid sulfatase deficiency is a genetic disorder only recently reported in the medical literature. Most documented cases of placental sulfatase deficiency have been marked by delay in onset of labor, lack of cervical dilatation, and relative refractoriness of oxytocic agents and amniotomy. We have studied the placenta, cultured fibroblasts,

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv3406 is a type II alkyl sulfatase capable of sulfate scavenging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encodes nine putative sulfatases, none of which have a known function or substrate. Here, we characterize Mtb's single putative type II sulfatase, Rv3406, as a non-heme iron (II) and α-ketoglutarate ...
