title: A novel type of aryl sulfotransferase obtained from an anaerobic bacterium of human intestine.
abstract: A novel type of aryl sulfotransferase is produced by an anaerobic bacterium of human intestine, Eubacterium A-44. Aryl sulfotransferase separated from this bacterium differs from the sulfotransferase which uses 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate as a donor. The enzyme catalyzes stoichiometric transfer of a sulfate group from a phenol sulfate ester to other phenolic compounds, with strict specificity. The optimal pH and molecular weight were 8-9 and 315,000, respectively.
