Differential activation of promutagens by alloenzymes of human sulfotransferase 1A2 expressed in Salmonella typhimurium
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Various enzymatically formed sulfuric acid esters are chemically reactive and mutagenic. This metabolic activation pathway is not detected in standard in-vitro mutagenicity test systems. We describe the construction of Salmonella typhimurium TA1538-derived strains expressing alloenzymes *1, *2, *3, *5, *6 of human sulfotransferase 1A2 (SULT1A2). The reference compounds, 1-hydroxymethylpyrene (1-HMP),...
