Fucoidans are sulfated, fucose-rich marine polysaccharides primarily found in cell walls of brown seaweeds (macroalgae). Fucoidans are known to possess beneficial bioactivities depending on their structure and sulfation degree. Here, we report the first functional characterization and the first crystal structure of a prokaryotic sulfatase, PsFucS1, belonging to sulfatase subfamily S1_13, able to release sulfate from fucoidan oligosaccharides. PsFucS1 was identified in the genome of a Pseudoalteromonas sp. isolated from sea cucumber gut. PsFucS1 (57 kDa) is Ca dependent and has an unusually high optimal temperature (68 °C) and thermostability. Further, the PsFucS1 displays a unique quaternary hexameric struct... More
