Adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate kinase (APSK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of adenosine-5'-phospho-sulfate (APS) to 3'-phospho-APS (PAPS). In plants, this enzymatic activity is biochemically regulated through an intersubunit disulfide bond between Cys86 and Cys119 in the N-terminal loop of APSK. To examine if O((3)P) generated by the photodeoxygenation of 2,8-dihydroxymethyldibenzothiophene S-oxide could specifically oxidize APSK at its regulatory site, APSK was irradiated in the presence of 2,8-dihydroxymethyldibenzothiophene S-oxide. Near-quantitative alteration of APSK from the enzymatically active monomeric form to the inhibited dimeric form was achieved. The photoinduced increase of dimeric APSK was strongly implicated to arise from the formation of the Cys86-Cys119 disulfide bond.

The sulfate donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is a near-universal component of sulfur metabolism. In a report by Zhang et al. in this issue of Structure, X-ray crystal structures of the APS kinase domains from human PAPS synthase reveal dynamic substrate recognition and a regulatory "redox switch" analogous to that previously described only in plant APS kinases.

Adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate kinase (APSK) catalyzes the rate-limiting biosynthetic step of the universal sulfuryl donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). In higher eukaryotes, the APSK and ATP sulfurylase (ATPS) domains are fused in a single chain. Humans have two bifunctional PAPS synthetase isoforms: PAPSS1 with the APSK1 domain and PAPSS2 containing the APSK2 domain.

Blocking of nutrient uptake and amino acid biosynthesis are considered potential targets for next-generation antifungal drugs against pathogenic fungi, including Cryptococcus neoformans. In this regard, the sulfate assimilation pathway is particularly attractive, as it is only present in eukaryotes such as plants and fungi, yet not in mammals. Here, we demonstrated that the adenylyl sulfate kinase (Met14) in the sulfate assimilation pathway is not essential yet is required for the viability of C.

Zosteric acid (ZA) is a Zostera species-derived, sulfated phenolic acid compound with antifouling activity and has gained much attention due to its nontoxic and biodegradable characteristics. However, the yield of Zostera species available for ZA extraction is limited by natural factors, such as season, latitude, light, and temperature. Here we report the development of metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains capable of producing ZA from glucose and glycerol.

The 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) molecule is essential during enzyme-catalyzed sulfation reactions as a sulfate donor and is an intermediate in the reduction of sulfate to sulfite in the sulfur assimilation pathway. PAPS is produced through a two-step reaction involving ATP sulfurylase and adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS) kinase enzymes/domains. However, archaeal APS kinases have not yet been characterized and their mechanism of action remains unclear.
