| Accepted name: |
adenylyl-sulfate kinase |
| Reaction: |
ATP + adenylyl sulfate = ADP + 3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate |
| Glossary: |
3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate = PAPS |
| Other name(s): |
adenylylsulfate kinase (phosphorylating); 5′-phosphoadenosine sulfate kinase; adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate kinase; adenosine phosphosulfate kinase; adenosine phosphosulfokinase; adenosine-5′-phosphosulfate-3′-phosphokinase; APS kinase |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:adenylyl-sulfate 3′-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The human phosphoadenosine-phosphosulfate synthase (PAPSS) system is a bifunctional enzyme (fusion product of two catalytic activities). In a first step, sulfate adenylyltransferase catalyses the formation of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS) from ATP and inorganic sulfate. The second step is catalysed by the adenylylsulfate kinase portion of 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) synthase, which involves the formation of PAPS from enzyme-bound APS and ATP. In contrast, in bacteria, yeast, fungi and plants, the formation of PAPS is carried out by two individual polypeptides, sulfate adenylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.4) and adenylyl-sulfate kinase (EC 2.7.1.25). |
