Abstract

The sulfate donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is a near-universal component of sulfur metabolism. In a report by Zhang etal. in this issue of Structure, X-ray crystal structures of the APS kinase domains from human PAPS synthase reveal dynamic substrate recognition and a regulatory "redox switch" analogous to that previously described only in plant APS kinases.
