Laboratory of Structural Biology, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709, USA
J Biol Chem 278:44593-9. 2003..In addition, the amino-terminal helix comprising residues Asp19 to Lys26, which determines the specificity difference between the SULT2B1 isoforms, becomes ordered upon pregnenolone binding, covering the substrate binding pocket...
Mutational analysis of human hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase SULT2B1 isoforms reveals that exon 1B of the SULT2B1 gene produces cholesterol sulfotransferase, whereas exon 1A yields pregnenolone sulfotransferaseHirotoshi Fuda
Section on Steroid Regulation, Endocrinology and Reproduction Research Branch, NICHD, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 4510, USA
J Biol Chem 277:36161-6. 2002..Thus, if the gene for SULT2B1 employs exon 1B, cholesterol sulfotransferase is synthesized, whereas if exon 1A is used, pregnenolone sulfotransferase is produced...
