The sulfate donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is a near-universal component of sulfur metabolism. In a report by Zhang et al. in this issue of Structure, X-ray crystal structures of the APS kinase domains from human PAPS synthase reveal dynamic substrate recognition and a regulatory "redox switch" analogous to that previously described only in plant APS kinases.
硫酸供体 3'-磷酸腺苷-5'-磷酸硫酸(PAPS)是硫代谢的普遍成分。在张等人的报告中,该结构的 X 射线晶体结构揭示了人 PAPS 合酶 APS 激酶结构域的动态底物识别和类似于先前仅在植物 APS 激酶中描述的调节“氧化还原开关”。
