The enzymic meta and para O-sulphation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid was investigated in vitro with a dialysed high-speed supernatant from rat liver. The O-sulphated products were identified by comparison with the reference compounds. The chemical synthesis and identification of the reference O-sulphate esters is described in detail. The sulphotransferase activity of the dialysed supernatant from rat liver towards 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid was 580 pmol of 3-O-sulphate and 120 pmol of 4-O-sulphate formed/min per mg of protein at the optimal pH of 7.4. The meta/para ratio of O-sulphation was independent of pH, time of incubation, concentration of enzyme and presence of dithiothreitol. The O-sulphate esters of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid were found to be good substrates for the arylsulphatase reaction at pH 5.6. The arylsulphatase activity of a dialysed preparation from rat liver was 4.0 nmol of 3-O- and 5.7 nmol of 4-O-sulphate ester hydrolysed/min per mg of protein, respectively. Arylsulphatase from Helix pomatia had an activity of 620 pmol of 3-O-sulphate and of 16.6 nmol of 4-O-sulphate ester hydrolysed/min per unit (mumol/h) of sulphatase.
