APS1 (At3g22890), also called ATPS1, is a plastid ATP sulfurylase that activates sulfate with ATP to form APS and pyrophosphate. Its abundance contributes to control of sulfate assimilation and leaf sulfate pools. APS1 also supports selenate assimilation when expressed in transgenic plants. It is a monofunctional sulfurylase, distinct from the plant APS kinases that phosphorylate APS to PAPS.

|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0000103 sulfate assimilation | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: APS1 catalyzes sulfate activation upstream of reduced-sulfur biosynthesis. Reason: APS1 performs the first enzymatic step of sulfate assimilation; native disruption lowers sulfurylase activity and sulfate flux. Downstream sulfide production includes this activation step. Supporting Evidence: PMID:8058839 Expression of APS1 correlated with the presence of ATP sulfurylase enzyme activity in cell extracts. PMID:24027241 Disruption of the ATPS1 gene in Col-0 resulted in the reduction of ATPS enzyme activity by approximately 50% |

Reason: The original Astragalus paper also assays transgenic Arabidopsis; its title is not a reason to reject the annotation. Independent PMID:9880353 specifically expresses Arabidopsis APS1 in Indian mustard and observes enhanced selenate reduction. This supports a peripheral substrate capability, without confusing ATP-dependent activation with reductase catalysis. Supporting Evidence: PMID:9880353 the Arabidopsis APS1 gene, encoding a plastidic ATP sulfurylase, was constitutively overexpressed in Indian mustard PMID:9880353 The APS plants showed increased selenate reduction |
| GO:0004020 adenylylsulfate kinase activity | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | REMOVE | Summary: APS1 is a monofunctional ATP sulfurylase, not an APS kinase. Reason: The existing family review scopes kinase activity away from SF46 and flags PTN000114732 for pruning on plant sulfurylases. APS1 has sulfurylase/PUA architecture without the kinase domain, and target complementation/activity establishes sulfate adenylation. The challenge is to ancestral-node propagation across distinct domain architectures, not to the number or identity of donor annotations. Propagation Review Root cause: PROPAGATION BAD Failure modes: FUNCTIONAL DIVERGENCE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN000114732 Β· APS kinase ancestral assertion SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Existing PTHR11055 family review flags this node for pruning on SF46/SF37/SF77/SF39 plant ATP sulfurylases; the donor enzymes have APS-kinase domains, APS1 does not.

| GO:0004781 sulfate adenylyltransferase (ATP) activity | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: APS1 catalyzes ATP-dependent sulfate adenylation. Reason: Target APS1 complementation and enzyme activity establish the reaction. PMID:7487067 purified recombinant APS3 for detailed kinetics; those kinetic values are not assigned to APS1. Native APS1 perturbation independently supports sulfurylase activity. Supporting Evidence: PMID:8058839 Expression of APS1 correlated with the presence of ATP sulfurylase enzyme activity in cell extracts. PMID:24027241 Disruption of the ATPS1 gene in Col-0 resulted in the reduction of ATPS enzyme activity by approximately 50% |

| GO:0005829 cytosol | RCA NOT PMID:21166475 Analysis of the Arabidopsis cytosolic proteome highlights su... | ACCEPT | Summary: APS1 is not a cytosolic protein; the NOT-cytosol assertion is independently confirmed by in vivo GFP localization. Reason: The curator assigned NOT cytosol to APS1 from the cytosolic-proteome study (PMID:21166475), which defines a set of proteins not targeted to organelles. An independent target-specific test settles the question that the abstract-only cache left open. Bohrer et al. (PMID:25601874) fused the native ATPS1 5' UTR and N-terminal region to GFP in protoplasts and expressed ATPS1pro:ATPS1-GFP in stable lines. ATPS1-GFP was exclusively plastidic, whereas ATPS2, through alternative translational initiation, was dually localized in plastids and cytosol. The cytosolic ATP sulfurylase pool in Arabidopsis therefore comes from ATPS2, not APS1, and the negative claim holds. Supporting Evidence: PMID:25601874 In contrast, the transfection of ATPS1(5β²UTRβVal63)-GFP showed exclusive localization of GFP in the chloroplasts (Figure 3C). PMID:25601874 At subcellular levels, signals of GFP were dually localized in plastids and cytosol in both leaves and roots of ATPS2-GFP lines (Figure 4C), while they were present only in plastids in ATPS1-GFP lines (Figure 4D). |

Reason: The native root-proteome experiment identifies ATP sulfurylase among proteins with altered abundance after cadmium treatment. Retain the curatorβs APS1 assignment as a contextual response; this does not assign cadmium binding or detoxification catalysis to APS1. Supporting Evidence: PMID:17075075 Most of the identified proteins belong to four different classes: metabolic enzymes such as ATP sulphurylase |
