content and environmental stress responses in plants. The committed step in this pathway is
catalyzed by ATP sulfurylase, which synthesizes adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS) from
sulfate and ATP. To better understand the molecular basis of this energetically unfavorable
reaction, the x-ray crystal structure of ATP sulfurylase isoform 1 from soybean (Glycine max
ATP sulfurylase) in complex with APS was determined. This structure revealed several …
