The post-translational protein modification tyrosine sulfation is catalysed by tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST). Teramoto et al. present the first crystal structure of the human TPST isoform 2 complexed with a substrate peptide derived from complement C4 and 3′phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphate, revealing the molecular basis of catalysis.
