title: Sulfuryl transfer catalyzed by phosphokinases.
abstract: Adenosine 5'-sulfatopyrophosphate is a substrate for nucleoside diphosphate kinase. The reaction appears to proceed through a ping-pong mechanism analogous to the physiological reaction involving ATP, presumably by way of a sulfohistidine intermediate. Unlike the phosphoryl transfer reactions, the corresponding sulfuryl transfers catalyzed by nucleoside diphosphate kinase do not have a strict divalent metal requirement. The estimated rate constants for the metal- and nonmetal-catalyzed sulfuryl transfers differ by less than an order of magnitude and are approximately 1000-fold slower than the corresponding phosphate transfers. These results suggest that the role of the metal ion in nucleoside diphosphate kinase is to coordinate the alpha, beta-phosphates of the substrate. Sulfuryl and phosphoryl transfer probably occur through dissociative transition states.
