EC 2.8.2.23 Details
EC number
2.8.2.23
Accepted name
[heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 1
Reaction

Other name(s)
heparin-glucosamine 3-O-sulfotransferase, 3′-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:heparin-glucosamine 3-O-sulfotransferase, glucosaminyl 3-O-sulfotransferase, heparan sulfate D-glucosaminyl 3-O-sulfotransferase, isoform/isozyme 1 (3-OST-1, HS3ST1), 3′-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:[heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase
Systematic name
3′-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:[heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfonotransferase
CAS registry number
183257-54-7
Comment
This enzyme differs from the other [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferases [EC 2.8.2.29 ([heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 2) and EC 2.8.2.30 ([heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 3)] by being the most selective for a precursor of the antithrombin-binding site. It has a minimal acceptor sequence of: → GlcNAc6S→ GlcA→ GlcN2S*+/-6S→ IdoA2S→ GlcN2S→ , the asterisk marking the target (symbols as in 2-Carb-38) using +/- to mean the presence or absence of a substituent, and > to separate a predominant structure from a minor one. Thus Glc(N2S > NAc) means a residue of glucosamine where the N carries a sulfo group mainly but occasionally an acetyl group. [1-4]. It can also modify other precursor sequences within heparan sulfate but this action does not create functional antithrombin-binding sites. These precursors are variants of the consensus sequence: → Glc(N2S > NAc)+/-6S→ GlcA→ GlcN2S*+/-6S→ GlcA > IdoA+/-2S→ Glc(N2S/NAc)+/-6S→ [5]. If the heparan sulfate substrate lacks 2-O-sulfation of GlcA residues, then enzyme specificity is expanded to modify selected glucosamine residues preceded by IdoA as well as GlcA [6].
