Enzyme Information

2.8.2.30
[Heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferase 3.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9Y663
3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfate.
-!- Two major substrates contain the tetrasaccharides: -> undetermined 2-sulfo-uronic acid->GlcN2S->IdoA2S->GlcN*-> and -> undetermined 2-sulfo-uronic acid->GlcN2S->IdoA2S->GlcN6S*-> with modification of the N-unsubstituted glucosamine residue (shown with an asterisk). -!- Modification of selected sequences containing N-sulfo-glucosamine residues cannot yet be excluded. -!- The 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate can be utilized by Herpes simplex virus type 1 as an entry receptor to infect the target cells. -!- There are two isozymes, known as 3-OST-3(A) and 3-OST-3(B), which have identical catalytic domains but are encoded by different mammalian genes. -!- The specificity of this enzyme differs from that of the other [heparan sulfate]-glucosamine 3-sulfotransferases. -!- It is inefficient at modifying precursors of the antithrombin binding site (in contrast to EC 2.8.2.23) and it does not modify glucosamine preceded by GlcA2S (unlike EC 2.8.2.29).
