The eukaryotic enzyme Bds1 is an alkyl but not an aryl sulfohydrolase.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2017 September 17
The eukaryotic enzyme Bds1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a metallo-β-lactamase-related enzyme evolutionarily originating from bacterial horizontal gene transfer that serves an unknown biological role. Previously, Bds1 was reported to be an alkyl and aryl sulfatase. However, we demonstrate here that Bds1 acts on primary alkyl sulfates (of 6-12 carbon atoms) but not the aryl sulfates p-nitrophenyl sulfate and p-nitrocatechol sulfate. The apparent catalytic rate constant for hydrolysis of the substrate 1-hexyl sulfate by Bds1 is over 100 times lower than that of the reaction catalyzed by its bacterial homolog SdsA1. We show that Bds1 shares a catalytic mechanism with SdsA1 in which the carbon atom of the sulfate ester is the subject of nucleophilic attack, rather than the sulfur atom, resulting in C-O bond lysis. In contrast to SdsA1 and another bacterial homolog with selectivity for secondary alkyl sulfates named Pisa1, Bds1 does not show any substantial activity towards secondary alkyl sulfates. Neither Bds1 nor SdsA1 have any significant activity towards a branched primary alkyl sulfate, primary and secondary steroid sulfates, or phosphate diesters. Therefore, the enzymes homologous to SdsA1 that have been identified and characterized thus far vary in their selectivity towards primary and secondary alkyl sulfates but do not exhibit aryl sulfatase activity.
