Abstract excerpt
Human heparan sulphate N-deacetylase/N-sulphotransferase 1 sulphates the NH(3) (+) group of the glucosamine moiety of the heparan chain in heparan sulphate/heparin biosynthesis. An open cleft that runs perpendicular to the sulphate donor 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulphate may constitute the acceptor substrate-binding site of the sulphotransferase domain (hNST1) [Kakuta, Sueyoshi, Negishi and Pedersen (1999)...
