Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and sulfate, whereas its two products are pyrophosphate and adenylyl sulfate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:sulfate adenylyltransferase. Other names in common use include adenosine-5'-triphosphate sulfurylase, adenosinetriphosphate sulfurylase, adenylylsulfate pyrophosphorylase, ATP sulfurylase, ATP-sulfurylase, and sulfurylase. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: purine metabolism, selenoamino acid metabolism, and sulfur metabolism.

Some sulfate adenylyltransferases are part of a bifunctional polypeptide chain associated with adenosyl phosphosulfate (APS) kinase. Both enzymes are required for PAPS (phosphoadenosine-phosphosulfate) synthesis from inorganic sulfate.[1][2]

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 18 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1G8F, 1G8G, 1G8H, 1I2D, 1J70, 1JEC, 1JED, 1JEE, 1JHD, 1M8P, 1R6X, 1TV6, 1V47, 1X6V, 1XJQ, 1XNJ, 1ZUN, and 2GKS.

Applications

ATP sulfurylase is one of the enzymes used in pyrosequencing.
