Gene Description

sult1st2 encodes zebrafish cytosolic sulfotransferase 2, a SULT1-family enzyme that uses PAPS to sulfate endogenous and xenobiotic substrates including hydroxychlorobiphenyls, thyroid hormones, estrone, and DOPA. It acts as an aryl/estrone sulfotransferase in the cytoplasm, contributing to xenobiotic metabolism and estrogen metabolism.

ACCEPT
Summary: xenobiotic metabolic process (GO:0006805) is supported for Sult1st2. Falcon adds that zebrafish liver cells form and release sulfated hydroxychlorobiphenyl conjugates, demonstrating xenobiotic sulfation in a cellular context.
Reason: The enzyme sulfates xenobiotics including hydroxychlorobiphenyls.
Supporting Evidence:

MODIFY
Summary: sulfotransferase activity (GO:0008146) is correct but too generic for Sult1st2. Falcon's substrate-resolved profile supports replacement with the more informative aryl and estrone sulfotransferase activity terms.
Reason: The review should use the more informative aryl and estrone sulfotransferase activities supported by substrate testing.

GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: cytoplasm (GO:0005737) by IBA (is_active_in) places the enzyme in the cytosol, consistent with sult1st2 being a cytosolic SULT1-family sulfotransferase. Same location supported by the IEA and NAS rows.
Reason: sult1st2 is a soluble cytosolic sulfotransferase (bacterially expressed, ~35 kDa soluble); the SULT1 family acts in the cytosol. Consistent with the IEA (GO_REF:0000044) and NAS (PMID:12755695) cytoplasm rows.

ACCEPT
Summary: xenobiotic metabolic process (GO:0006805) by IDA (involved_in). sult1st2 (SULT1 ST2) sulfates hydroxychlorobiphenyl xenobiotics in vitro, contributing to their metabolism/detoxification (PMID:12755695). Duplicate term/evidence of the acts_upstream_of_or_within row; same ACCEPT.
Reason: Directly demonstrated sulfation of hydroxychlorobiphenyls by the recombinant enzyme (PMID:12755695); xenobiotic sulfation is a genuine function sult1st2 performs. Consistent with the sibling GO:0006805 rows.

GO:0008146 sulfotransferase activity

GO_REF:0000120
MODIFY
Summary: sulfotransferase activity (GO:0008146) is the broad SULT-family MF term, here from a combined-IEA (ARBA/InterPro) mapping. It is correct but generic for sult1st2, whose substrate-resolved biochemistry supports the more informative aryl and estrone sulfotransferase activities (PMID:12755695, PMID:14726148).
Reason: Correct but too general; replace with the specific IDA/IBA-supported children aryl sulfotransferase activity (GO:0004062) and estrone sulfotransferase activity (GO:0004304). Consistent with the GO:0008146 IDA (PMID:12755695) row.
