General description

Sulfatases comprise Cys/Ser-X-Pro-X-Arg motif that is conserved in their active sites.

Application

Sulfatase from Aerobacter aerogenes has been used:
  • as a deconjugation enzyme for treating plasma samples for quercetin quantification using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analyses
  • in fluorescence intensity-based enzymatic assay with an activity-based probe probe 1
  • to treat sulfatide liposomes to remove the 3-O-sulfogalactosyde head from sulfatides

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sulfatases hydrolyze sulfate ester bonds to generate inorganic sulfates. Microbial sulfatases participate in sulfur scavenging and are essential enzymes for the utilization of sulfur. They may be associated with pathogenesis. Commercially available sulfatase from Aerobacter aerogenes is useful as a deconjugation enzyme for the removal of glucuronate and sulfate moieties from conjugates. Sulfatases find application in industry and agriculture.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of p-nitrophenyl sulfate per min at pH 7.1 at 37 °C.

Physical form

Solution in 50% glycerol containing 0.01 M Tris, pH 7.5.

β-Glucuronidase and sulfatase are the major deconjugating enzymes used in the cleavage of the glucuronate and sulfate moieties, respectively, from certain conjugated food factors including polyphenols. In the present study, we found that compounds having the same molecular weights as

Total (i.e. free+sulfated) metanephrines in plasma is a biomarker for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Sulfated metanephrines must be completely deconjugated by perchloric acid hydrolysis or sulfatase treatment prior to analytical measurement to enable quantification by current techniques.
