| Primary Identifier | IPR037920 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | YoaE_C |
| description | This domain is a conserved molybdopterin-binding C-terminal region found in probable oxidoreductase YoaE and related proteins.The MopB domain is found in a wide variety of molybdenum- and tungsten-containing enzymes, including formate dehydrogenase-H (Fdh-H) and -N (Fdh-N), several forms of nitrate reductase (Nap, Nas, NarG), dimethylsulfoxide reductase (DMSOR), thiosulfate reductase, formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase, and arsenite oxidase. Molybdenum is present in most of these enzymes in the form of molybdopterin, a modified pterin ring with a dithiolene side chain, which is responsible for ligating the Mo. In many bacterial and archaeal species, molybdopterin is in the form of a dinucleotide, with two molybdopterin dinucleotide units per molybdenum. These proteins can function as monomers, heterodimers, or heterotrimers, depending on the protein and organism [, , ]. |
