Adenosine 5'-triphosphate sulphurylase from Spirulina platensis. 1979

V K Menon, and A K Varma

ATP-sulphurylase from an unicellular blue-green alga, Spirulina platensis was localized in the soluble fractions of cell-free homogenate, and it was stable for over 3 weeks at -6 degrees C.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009713	Nucleotidyltransferases	A class of enzymes that transfers nucleotidyl residues. EC 2.7.7.	Nucleotidyltransferase
D000458	Cyanobacteria	A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE.

D013430	Sulfate Adenylyltransferase	An enzyme that catalyzes the activation of sulfate ions by ATP to form adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate and pyrophosphate. This reaction constitutes the first enzymatic step in sulfate utilization following the uptake of sulfate. EC 2.7.7.4.	ATP Sulfurylase,Sulfurylase,Adenylyltransferase, Sulfate,Sulfurylase, ATP
