General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction The Escherichia coli moeB mutant strains contain an inactive, desulfo form of MPT synthase. Substitutions of every cysteine residue in MoeB does not affect activity, except for the mutations in the cysteine residues located in putative Zn-binding motifs, which cause loss of metal binding correlated with loss of activity Escherichia coli
physiological function MoeB is involved in the activation of molybdopterin synthase for the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. MoeB-dependent formation of a C-terminal thiocarboxylate on the MoaD subunit of molybdopterin synthase might resemble the ubiquitin-activating step in the ubiquitin-targeted degradation of proteins in eukaryotes, but without formation of a thioester intermediate between MoeB and MoaD, overview. But formation of a complex of MoeB and MoaD adenylate, that is stable to gel filtration, occurs Escherichia coli
