EC 2.10.1.1 Details
EC number
2.10.1.1
Accepted name
molybdopterin molybdotransferase
Reaction
adenylyl-molybdopterin + molybdate = molybdenum cofactor + AMP + H2O
Other name(s)
MoeA,
Cnx1 (ambiguous)
Systematic name
adenylyl-molybdopterin:molybdate molybdate transferase (AMP-forming)
Comment
Catalyses the insertion of molybdenum into the ene-dithiol group of molybdopterin. In eukaryotes this reaction is catalysed by the N-terminal domain of a fusion protein whose C-terminal domain catalyses EC 2.7.7.75, molybdopterin adenylyltransferase. Requires divalent cations such as Mg2+ or Zn2+ for activity.
