Post-translational tyrosine sulfation reaction catalysed by TPST. (a) The tyrosine residue of a substrate protein is sulfated by TPST using the donor substrate, PAPS. (b) The amino-acid sequences of the substrate peptides used in this study. C4P5Y3 corresponds to an nine-amino-acid region encompassing the tyrosine sulfation site Y741 of human complement C4. Two Tyr residues (Y738 and Y743) in the original sequences have been mutated to Phe and only one Tyr (Y741) residue exists in the peptide. C4P5Y5 corresponds to an eleven-amino-acid region encompassing the tyrosine sulfation site Y741 of human complement C4. Two Tyr residues (Y738 and Y743) in the original sequences have been mutated to Phe and only one Tyr (Y741) residue exists in the peptide. The gastrin peptide corresponds to a twelve-amino-acid region encompassing the tyrosine sulfation site Y87 of human gastrin.
