Disease relevance of ECs3604

 

High impact information on ECs3604

  • The cumulative results indicate that Ser-107 may reside in the substrate binding pocket of fungal APS kinase, but neither it nor any nearby hydroxy amino acid serves as an obligatory phophoryl acceptor in the 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate synthesis reaction [3].
  • Replacement of Ser-107 with alanine yielded an active enzyme with kinetic characteristics similar to those of wild-type APS kinase [3].
  • The results also indicate that the absence of a serine at position 478 in the APS kinase-like C-terminal region of fungal ATP sulfurylase does not account for the lack of APS kinase activity in that enzyme [3].
  • The sequence includes the structural genes encoding the enzymes ATP sulfurylase (cysD and cysN) and APS kinase (cysC) which catalyze the synthesis of activated sulfate [4].
  • APS kinase catalyses the transfer of the gamma phosphoryl group of ATP to the 3'-hydroxyl group of APS [2].

Associations of ECs3604 with chemical compounds

  • The enzymes of the sulfate activation pathway, ATP sulfurylase (ATP:sulfate adenylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.4) and APS kinase (ATP:adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate 3'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.25) have been overproduced approximately 100-fold [6].
  • APS kinase binds one Mn(2+) ion per subunit in the absence of substrates, consistent with the requirement for a divalent cation in the phosphorylation of APS by E-P [7].
  • APS kinase requires divalent cations such as Mg(2+) or Mn(2+) for activity [7].
