Abstract
In this study, novel carbon nanotube-supported Mo (Mo/CNT) catalysts were prepared with the sodium borohydride reduction method for the detection of L-cysteine (L-Cys, L-C). Mo/CNT catalysts were characterized with scanning electron microscopy with elemental dispersion X-ray (EDX-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry (UV-vis), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), temperature programmed oxidation (TPO), and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. The results of these advanced surface characterization techniques revealed that the catalysts were prepared successfully. Electrochemical measurements were employed to construct a voltammetric L-C sensor based on Mo/CNT catalyst by voltammetric techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Further measurements were carried out with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Mo/CNT/GCE exhibited excellent performance for L-C detection with a linear response in the range of 0–150 µM, with a current sensitivity of 200 mA/μM cm2 (0.0142 μA/μM), the lowest detection limit of 0.25 μM, and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N = 3). Interference studies showed that the Mo/CNT/GCE electrode was not affected by D-glucose, uric acid, L-tyrosine, and L-trytophane, commonly interfering organic structures. Natural sample analysis was also accomplished with acetyl L-C. Mo/CNT catalyst is a promising material as a sensor for L-C detection.

Abstract
Mammalian cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs) catalyze the sulfation of xenobiotics as well as numerous endogenous molecules. The major aryl (phenol) SULT in rat liver, rSULT1A1, has been used extensively as a model enzyme for understanding the catalytic function of SULTs. Previous studies showed that purified rSULT1A1 displays significant catalytic changes in the presence of GSSG and other oxidants. In the present study, the effects of diamide [1,1'-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide)] and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) on the activity of rSULT1A1 in rat hepatic slices were compared with the effects of these oxidants on a homogeneous preparation of the enzyme. Precision-cut hepatic slices were incubated with 10 μM 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) in the presence of varied concentrations of either diamide or TBHP. Analysis of the 7-hydroxycoumarin sulfate released into the incubation medium indicated that both oxidants significantly increased the sulfation of 7-HC, and this occurred at optimal concentrations of 5 and 10 μM, respectively. Cellular GSH and GSSG levels in the hepatic slices were not significantly altered from control values at these concentrations of diamide and TBHP. Exposure of homogeneous rSULT1A1 to diamide or TBHP also increased the rate of sulfation of 7-HC, although the optimal concentrations of diamide and TBHP were lower (50- and 100-fold, respectively) than those required for effects with the hepatic slices. These results indicate that both diamide and TBHP may modify the rSULT1A1 in intact cells in a manner similar to that observed with the homogeneous purified enzyme.

Abstract
Hydroxylated metabolites of polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) are inhibitors and substrates for various human sulfotransferases (SULTs). Although the rat is often used in toxicological studies on PCBs, the interactions of OH-PCBs with rat SULTs are less well understood. In the present study, 15 OH-PCBs were investigated as potential substrates or inhibitors of purified recombinant rSULT1A1 and rSULT2A3, the major family 1 and family 2 SULTs present in rat liver, respectively. None of these OH-PCBs were substrates for rSULT2A3, 11 weakly inhibited rSULT2A3-catalyzed sulfation of dehydroepiandrosterone, and 4 had no effect on the reaction. With rSULT1A1, 4-OH-PCB 8, 4'-OH-PCB 3, 9, 12, 35, and 6'-OH-PCB 35 were substrates, whereas 4'-OH-PCB 6, 4-OH-PCB 14, 4'-OH-PCB 25, 4'-OH-PCB 33, 4-OH-PCB 34, 4-OH-PCB36, 4'-OH-PCB 36, 4'-OH-PCB 68, and 4-OH-PCB 78 inhibited the sulfation of 2-naphthol catalyzed by this enzyme. OH-PCBs with a 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxy substitution were the most potent inhibitors of rSULT1A1, and the placement of chlorine atoms in the ortho- and meta-positions on either ring of para-OH-PCBs resulted in significant differences in activity as substrates and inhibitors. The specificity of rSULT1A1 for several inhibitory OH-PCBs was altered by pretreatment of the enzyme with oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Four OH-PCBs that were inhibitors of rSULT1A1 under reducing conditions became substrates after pretreatment of the enzyme with GSSG. This alteration in specificity of rSULT1A1 for certain OH-PCBs suggests that conditions of oxidative stress may significantly alter the sulfation of some OH-PCBs in the rat.

Abstract
Sulfotransferase catalyzed sulfation is important in the regulation of different hormones and the metabolism of hydroxyl containing xenobiotics. In the present investigation, we examined the effects of hyperoxia on aryl sulfotransferase IV in rat lungs in vivo. The enzyme activity of aryl sulfotransferase IV increased 3- to 8-fold in >95% O2 treated rat lungs. However, hyperoxic exposure did not change the mRNA and protein levels of aryl sulfotransferase IV in lungs as revealed by Western blot and RT-PCR. This suggests that oxidative regulation occurs at the level of protein modification. The increase of nonprotein soluble thiol and reduced glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratios in treated lung cytosols correlated well with the aryl sulfotransferase IV activity increase. In vitro, rat liver cytosol 2-naphthol sulfation activity was activated by GSH and inactivated by GSSG. Our results suggest that Cys residue chemical modification is responsible for the in vivo and in vitro oxidative regulation. The molecular modeling structure of aryl sulfotransferase IV supports this conclusion. Our gel filtration chromatography results demonstrated that neither GSH nor GSSG treatment changed the existing aryl sulfotransferase IV dimer status in cytosol, suggesting that oxidative regulation of aryl sulfotransferase IV is not caused by dimer-monomer status change.

Abstract
Sulfotransferase (SULT) catalyzed sulfation is responsible for hormone regulation and xenobiotic detoxification. Induction of SULTs by various hormones has been reported. Stress regulation of SULTs has not been reported, however. Here we report that rat liver SULTs can be regulated by physical stress (forced running, EX) and chemical stress (the organophosphorus pesticide parathion, PS). Both EX and PS increased rat liver phenol-sulfating SULT1A1 and hydroxysteroid-sulfating SULT2A1 activities. The increase in SULT1A1 activity did not correlate with protein (Western blot) or mRNA (RT-PCR) results but correlated well with increased non-protein soluble thiols. This suggests a possible Cys modification mechanism for stress regulation of SULT1A1. In vitro studies on GSH/GSSG effects on SULT1A1 activity support this conclusion. In contrast, SULT2A1 activity following physical or chemical stress treatments correlated well with protein and mRNA levels. This suggests a stress regulation mechanism of SULT2A1 at the gene transcription level, possibly occurring via hormones.

Abstract
The sulfotransferases that are active in the metabolism of xenobiotics represent a large family of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of the sulfuryl group from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to phenols, to primary and secondary alcohols, to several additional oxygen-containing functional groups, and to amines. Restriction of this review to the catalytic processes of phenol or aryl sulfotransferases does not really narrow the field, because these enzymes have overlapping specificity, not only for specific compounds, but also for multiple functional groups. The presentation aims to provide an overview of the wealth of phenol sulfotransferases that are available for study but concentrates on the enzymology of rat and human enzymes, particularly on the predominant phenol sulfotransferase from rat liver. The kinetics and catalytic mechanism of the rat enzyme is extensively reviewed and is compared with observations from other sulfotransferases.

Abstract
Aryl sulfotransferase IV from rat liver has the very broad substrate range that is characteristic of the enzymes of detoxication. With the conventional assay substrates, 4-nitrophenol and PAPS, sulfation was considered optimal at pH 5.5 whereas the enzyme in the physiological pH range was curiously ineffective. These properties would seem to preclude a physiological function for this cytosolic enzyme. Partial oxidation of the enzyme, however, results not only in a substantial increase in the rate of sulfation of 4-nitrophenol at physiological pH but also in a shift of the pH optimum to this range and radically altered overall substrate specificity. The mechanism for this dependence on redox environment involves oxidation at Cys66, a process previously shown to occur by formation of a mixed disulfide with glutathione or by the formation of an internal disulfide with Cys232. Oxidation at Cys66 acts only as a molecular redox switch and is not directly part of the catalytic mechanism. Underlying the activation process is a change in the nature of the ternary complex formed between enzyme, phenol, and the reaction product, adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate. The reduced enzyme gives rise to an inhibitory, dead-end ternary complex, the stability of which is dictated by the ionization of the specific phenol substrate. Ternary complex formation impedes the binding of PAPS that is necessary to initiate a further round of the reaction and is manifest as profound, substrate-dependent inhibition. In contrast, the ternary complex formed when the enzyme is in the partially oxidized state allows binding of PAPS and the unhindered completion of the reaction cycle.

Abstract
This paper describes the study of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) regeneration from 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphate (PAP) for use in practical syntheses of carbohydrate sulfates which are catalyzed by sulfotransferases. Among the regeneration systems, the one with recombinant aryl sulfotransferase proved to be the most practical. This regeneration system was coupled with a sulfotransferase-catalyzed reaction, using a recombinant Nod factor sulfotransferase, for the synthesis of various oligosaccharide sulfates that were further glycosylated using glycosyltransferases.

Abstract
We have developed a continuous spectrophotometric coupled-enzyme assay for sulfotransferase activity. This assay is based on the regeneration of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) from the desulfated 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphate (PAP) by a recombinant aryl sulfotransferase using p-nitrophenyl sulfate as the sulfate donor and visible spectrophotometric indicator of enzyme turnover. Here recombinant rat aryl sulfotransferase IV (AST-IV) is expressed, resolved to the pure beta-form during purification, and utilized for the regeneration. The activity of betaAST-IV to catalyze the synthesis of PAPS from PAP and p-nitrophenyl sulfate is demonstrated via capillary zone electrophoresis, and the kinetics of this reverse-physiological reaction are calculated. betaAST-IV is then applied to the coupled enzyme system, where the steady-state activity of the commercially available Nod factor sulfotransferase is verified with an enzyme concentration study and substrate-specificity assays of N-chitoses. The potential applications of this assay include rapid kinetic determinations for carbohydrate and protein sulfotransferases, high-throughput screening of potential sulfotransferase substrates and inhibitors, and biomedical screening of blood samples and other tissues for specific sulfotransferase enzyme activity and substrate concentration.
