Function

Sulfatase hydrolyzes sulfate esters. The enzymes take part in the cycling of sulfur[1]. The arylsulfatase name is derived from the fact that nitrophenyl-sulfate is their standard substrate.

  • Arylsulfatase A hydrolyzes cerebroside-sulfate.
  • Arylsulfatase B hydrolyzes dermatan sulfate.
  • Alkylsulfatase hydrolyzes SDS and other alkyl sulfate derivatives.
  • Estrone sulfatase hydrolyzes sulfated steroids.
  • N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase hydrolyzes chondroitin sulfate and keratin sulfate. For details see Molecular Playground/Human Galactosamine-6-sulfatase.
  • Choline sulfatase hydrolyzes alkyl sulfate choline-O-sulfate[2].
  • Iota-carrageenan sulfatase hydrolyzes sulfated polysaccharides[3].
  • Steryl sulfatase converts estrone sulfate into estrogen[4].

Disease

Mutations in arylsulfatase result in lysosomal storage disorders. Sulfatases are implicated in pathophysiological conditions in hormone-dependent cancer, developmental abnormalities and bacterial pathogenesis[5].

  • Succinate/Fe+2 ion binding site.
