  • Title: A novel sulfatase from Pseudomonas testosteroni hydrolyzing lithocholic acid sulfate.
    Author: Tazuke Y, Matsuda K, Okada S, Tsukada Y.
    Journal: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem; 1992 Oct; 56(10):1584-8. PubMed ID: 1369058.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas testosteroni ATCC 11996 was found to produce a novel bile acid sulfate sulfatase that hydrolyzes the sulfate ester bond in lithocholic acid sulfate (LCA-S). The enzyme synthesis was induced by several kinds of bile acids including LCA-S. Mn2+ functioned as an essential component for the enzyme synthesis and SO4(2-) suppressed it. This sulfatase hydrolyzes LCA-S to isolithocholic acid and sulfuric acid with inversion of alpha- to beta-configuration of the hydroxyl group at the third position of lithocholic acid.
