title: Apparent identity of cerebral tyrosylsulfotransferase activities using either a cholecystokinin derivative or an acidic amino acid polymer as substrate.
abstract: The tyrosylsulfotransferase activities of rat cerebral fractions transferring [35S]sulfate groups from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-[35S]phosphosulfate to either Boc-cholecystokinin-8 (in non-sulfated form) or the acidic amino acid polymer (Glu, Ala, Tyr)n (6:3:1) were compared. They appear similar regarding subcellular distribution (both being enriched in the microsomal fraction) and inhibition by an excess of the acidic amino acid polymer, NaCl or 2,6-dichloro 4-nitrophenol. These results obtained with artificial substrates suggest that identical (or closely similar) tyrosylsulfotransferases are responsible for sulfation of tyrosine residues of several secretory proteins from various tissues.
