Doris Taylor’s research group used detergents to remove all the cells from a cadaveric rat heart, which leaves behind the natural extracellular matrix. An extracellular matrix scaffold can promote the differentiation and rebuilding of a beating heart. The researchers then infused this ECM scaffold with cardiomyocytes. Now these cells differentiated and organized into a functionally contracting “recellularized” heart. Which of the following statement is correct?

Sulfotransferases are the first enzymes of the core sulfation pathways, they transfer sulfate from PAPS to the hydroxyl or amino group of a wide variety of acceptors, as given below

a. Molecular basis of symbiotic host specificity in Rhizobium meliloti: nodH and nodPQ genes encode the sulfation of lipochito-oligosaccharide signals

b. Sulfation of the choriogonadotropin alpha subunit in human placental explants

c. Tyrosine sulfation of the amino terminus of CCR5 facilitates HIV-1 entry

d. A tyrosine-sulfated peptide based on the N terminus of CCR5 interacts with a CD4-enhanced epitope of the HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein and inhibits HIV-1 entry.

e. The Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae raxP and raxQ genes encode an ATP sulfurylase and APS kinase that are required for AvrXa21 avirulence.
