(R)-specific secondary-alkylsulfatase

UniProtKB accession:  F8KAY7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Alkylsulfatase that catalyzes the enantioselective hydrolysis of secondary-alkylsulfates with strict inversion of configuration, leading to the formation of homochiral (S)-configurated alcohols and nonreacted sulfate esters (PubMed:21770430, Ref.2, PubMed:23061549). The substrate spectrum includes a range of linear, branched or cyclic sec-alkylsulfates (PubMed:21770430). Can use sec-alkylsulfate esters bearing aromatic, olefinic and acetylenic moieties (Ref.2). Acts by cleaving the C-O bond, resulting in inversion at the carbon (PubMed:23061549).
