Estrone sulfotransferase (EST) (EC 2.8.2.4), also known as estrogen sulfotransferase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the transformation of an unconjugated estrogen like estrone into a sulfated estrogen like estrone sulfate. It is a steroid sulfotransferase and belongs to the family of transferases, to be specific, the sulfotransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. This enzyme participates in androgen and estrogen metabolism and sulfur metabolism.[1]
Steroid sulfatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reverse reaction, the transfer of a sulfate to an unconjugated estrogen.
Reaction
Estrone sulfotransferase is an enzyme characterised from bovine adrenal glands that catalyzes the following chemical reaction:
This converts estrone to estrone sulfate by transferring a sulfate group from the cofactor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) and giving adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate as a byproduct. The enzyme also catalyzes the same reaction for estradiol, with estradiol sulfate as the product.[2][3][4]
Types
Two isoforms have been identified that are thought to represent estrone sulfotransferase (EST) in humans:[5][6]
- SULT1A1 (catalyzes the reactions estradiol to estradiol sulfate and, to a lesser extent than SULT1E1, estrone to estrone sulfate)
- SULT1E1 (catalyzes the reactions estrone to estrone sulfate and estradiol to estradiol sulfate)
Structure
As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 1AQU, PDB: 1AQY, PDB: 1BO6, PDB: 1G3M, and PDB: 1HY3.
Names
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:estrone 3-sulfotransferase. Other names in common use include 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate-estrone 3-sulfotransferase, estrogen sulfotransferase, estrogen sulphotransferase, oestrogen sulphotransferase, and 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate:oestrone sulfotransferase.[1]
