3′-Phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is a derivative of
coenzyme in sulfotransferase reactions and hence part of sulfation pathways.[1] It is endogenously synthesized by organisms via the phosphorylation of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS), an intermediary metabolite.[2] In humans such reaction is performed by bifunctional 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate synthases (PAPSS1 and PAPSS2) using ATP as the phosphate donor.[3][4]
Formation and reduction
APS and PAPS are intermediates in the reduction of sulfate to
ATP sulfurylase
:
- SO42− + ATP ⇌ APS + PPi
The conversion of APS to PAPS is catalysed by APS kinase:
- APS + ATP ⇌ PAPS + ADP
Reduction of APS leads to sulfite, which is further reduced to
sulfate ester, leads also to hydrogen sulfide. But in this case, the product is used in biosynthesis, e.g. for the production of cysteine. The latter process is called assimilatory sulfate reduction because the sulfate sulfur is assimilated.[5]
