Reaction: 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + α,α-trehalose = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + 2-O-sulfo-α,α-trehalose
Glossary: 2-O-sulfo-α,α-trehalose = trehalose 2-sulfate = α-D-glucopyranosyl 2-O-sulfo-α-D-glucopyranoside
Other name(s): Stf0 sulfotransferase; 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:α,α-trehalose 2-sulfotransferase
Systematic name: 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:α,α-trehalose 2-sulfonotransferase
Comments: The sulfation of trehalose in the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis is required for the biosynthesis of sulfolipid-1.
