Sulfur is an essential element to all kingdoms of life and is used in essential cellular processes including the synthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids, maintenance of cellular redox states, and incorporation into various metabolites. Inorganic sulfate, the most abundant source of environmental sulfur, is metabolized into two commonly formed nucleotide precursors: adenosine 5’-phosphosulfate (APS) and 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate (PAPS). Donation of activated sulfur occurs through a broad range of enzymatic reactions many of which consume PAPS thereby producing 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphate (PAP). Two classes of 3’-nucleotide phosphatases then hydrolyze PAP into 5’-AMP: one is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to man and localizes to the cytoplasmic compartment, while the other is restricted to a subset of eukaryotes and is active within the Golgi lumen. Interestingly, both classes of 3’-nucleotidase are members of a structurally conserved family of lithium-inhibited phosphatases that are targets of the drug in a variety of organisms. In this review we provide an overview of sulfur assimilation and the broad regulatory roles that 3’-nucleotidases play in processes ranging from halotolerance to glycosaminoglycan sulfation. In addition, we discuss recent plant and animal studies that emphasize roles for 3’-nucleotidase function in developmental biology, physiology, and in a rare subset of human patients with skeletal abnormalities.
