Background: Cytosolic Sulfotransferase 2B1/SULT2B1

Cytosolic sulfotransferases catalyze the sulfonation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. They are distinct from Golgi resident sulfotransferases by the absence of transmembrane domains and are located in the cytoplasm (1, 2). Compared to other cytosolic sulfotransferase, SULT2B1 is unique in that it contains a Pro‑rich region between amino acid 305 to 364 that may be related to the thermostability and nuclear translocation of the enzyme (3). The gene for SULT2B1 encodes two isoforms, SULT2B1a and SULT2B1b, that differ only at their amino termini (4). Our recombinant enzyme corresponds to SULT2B1b. SULT2B1b preferentially sulfonates cholesterol and is less active on pregnenolone, DHEA and androstenediol; whereas SULT2B1a preferentially sulfonates pregnenolone and has minimal activity on cholesterol (5). The enzyme activity was determined using a phosphatase-coupled method (6).
