PAPSS1
PAPSS1 (Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 1) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
Overview
Bifunctional enzyme with both ATP sulfurylase and APS kinase activity, which mediates two steps in the sulfate activation pathway. The first step is the transfer of a sulfate group to ATP to yield adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS), and the second step is the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to APS yielding 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate (PAPS: activated sulfate donor used by sulfotransferase). In mammals, PAPS is the sole source of sulfate; APS appears to be only an intermediate in the sulfate-activation pathway.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.63 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.81, affected pathway 0.89, genetic association 0.39).

- 1 · What it is
PAPSS1 (Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 1) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Bifunctional enzyme with both ATP sulfurylase and APS kinase activity, which mediates two steps in the sulfate activation pathway.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at PAPSS1 yet. Kinases are switched on by binding ATP inside the cell, so most drugs are small molecules shaped to plug that ATP pocket.

Required for normal biosynthesis of sulfated L-selectin ligands in endothelial cells. Locus 4q25 (HGNC).
Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
