Sulfotransferase 4A1 (SULT4A1) is an orphan member of the cytosolic SULT superfamily that contains enzymes that catalyze the sulfonation of hydrophobic drugs and hormones. SULT4A1 has been assessed through all classical SULT approaches yet no SULT activity has been reported. To ascertain SULT4A1 function and activity, we utilized  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  as a model system, which exhibits no endogenous SULT activity nor possesses SULT-related genes. We observed that ectopic SULT4A1 expression in yeast displays similar subcellular localization as reported in mouse neurons and observed that SULT4A1 is associated with the outer mitochondria membrane. SULT4A1 expression stimulates colony formation and protects these cells from hydrogen peroxide and metabolism-associated oxidative stress. These SULT4A1-mediated phenotypes are dependent on extracellular sulfate that is converted in yeast to PAPS, the universal sulfonate donor for SULT activity. Thus, heterologous SULT4A1 expression in yeast is correctly distributed and functional, and SULT4A1 antioxidant activity is sulfate dependent supporting the concept that SULT4A1 has sulfate-associated activity.
