title: Purification, cloning, and characterization of an arylsulfotransferase from the anaerobic bacterium Eubacterium rectale IIIH.
abstract: A bacterium, Eubacterium rectale IIIH, which possessed arylsulfotransferase (ASST) activity was isolated from human feces. The ASST gene (astA) was cloned and the corresponding protein partially characterized. This gene shows only moderate homology to the previously sequenced ASST genes of Klebsiella and Enterobacter, which are very closely related to each other.
