FunFam 603: Sulfotransferase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
[Heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 1. [EC: 2.8.2.23]
3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfate.
  • This enzyme differs from EC 2.8.2.29 and EC 2.8.2.30 by being the most selective for a precursor of the antithrombin-binding site.
  • It has a minimal acceptor sequence of: -> GlcNAc6S->GlcA-> GlcN2S*+-6S->IdoA2S->GlcN2S->.
  • It can also modify other precursor sequences within heparan sulfate but this action does not create functional antithrombin-binding sites.
  • These precursors are variants of the consensus sequence: -> Glc(N2S>NAc)+-6S->GlcA->GlcN2S*+-6S->GlcA>IdoA+-2S-> Glc(N2S/NAc)+-6S->.
  • If the heparan sulfate substrate lacks 2-O-sulfation of GlcA residues, then enzyme specificity is expanded to modify selected glucosamine residues preceded by IdoA as well as GlcA.
