Figure 4.
Time course of tibolone monosulfate and disulfate hydrolysis by STS. The tibolone monosulfates and disulfate were generated using SULT2A1 and 10 μM 3α-OH or 3β-OH tibolone and 35S-PAPS. The 3-OH tibolone sulfates were extracted with chloroform and hydrolyzed with STS as described in Methods. Panel A shows the results of the hydrolysis of the mono- and disulfates formed with 3α-OH tibolone by STS. Panel B shows the results of the hydrolysis of the 3β-OH tibolone mono- and disulfates by STS. Aliqouts were taken from the STS reactions at different times, resolved by TLC and quantified. The mean ± s.d. of four reactions is shown.
