The availability of homogeneous samples of the potassium salts of L- and D-octan-2-yl sulfate enabled the separation of the optically stereospecific CS1 and CS2 secondary alkylsulfohydrolases from extracts of cells of C. terrigena. The CS2 enzyme was purified to homogeneity, and an initial study was made of its general properties, specificity, cellular localization and relationship to the CS1 enzyme. The CS2 enzyme has a MW of .apprx. 250,000 and a subunit size of .apprx. 58,000, indicating that the molecule is a tetramer. Under the experimental conditions used the enzyme appears to be specific for (+)-secondary alkyl sulfate esters with the sulfate group at C-2 and with a chain length of at least 6 C. Enzyme activity towards racemic C-2 sulfates increases with increasing chain length up to C10, and there is some indirect evidence to suggest that activity declines when that chain length is exceeded. Other indirect evidence confirms that the CS1 enzyme exhibits similar specificity, except that only (-)-isomers can serve as substrates. Both enzymes are present in broth-grown stationary-phase cells of C. terrigena in approximately equal amounts.
