The effect of pH on the kinetics of arylsulphatases A and B. 1983

C O'Fagain, and B M Butler, and T J Mantle

The effect of pH on the kinetics of rat liver arylsulphatases A and B is very similar and shows that two groups with pK values of 4.4-4.5 and 5.7-5.8 are important for enzyme activity. Substrate binding has no effect on the group with a pK of 4.4-4.5; however, the pK of the second group is shifted to 7.1-7.5 in the enzyme-substrate complex. An analysis of the effect of pH on the Ki for sulphate inhibition suggests that HSO4-is the true product. A model is proposed that involves the two ionizing groups identified in the present study in a concerted general acid-base-catalysed mechanism.

D002553 Cerebroside-Sulfatase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cerebroside 3-sulfate (sulfatide) to yield a cerebroside and inorganic sulfate. A marked deficiency of arylsulfatase A, which is considered the heat-labile component of cerebroside sulfatase, has been demonstrated in all forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy (LEUKODYSTROPHY, METACHROMATIC).
