Type: | Family | Name: | Sulphate adenylyltransferase, prokaryotic-type |
Description: | ATP-sulfurylase catalyses a key reaction in the global sulfur cycle by reversibly converting inorganic sulfate with ATP to adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS) and pyrophosphate (PPi) []. This entry consists of sulphate adenylyltransferase or ATP-sulfurylase (), mainly from prokaryotes. It also includes ATP-sulfurylase from the enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba, which is closest to Synechocystis and Bacillus subtilis ATP-sulfurylases []. In higher eukaryotes, APS kinase is N-terminally fused to ATP-sulfurylase. | Short Name: | SO4_adenylyltransferase_pro |
