Protein Domain : Molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, conserved site

Primary Identifier  IPR008284 Type  Conserved_site
Short Name  MoCF_biosynth_CS
description  Eukaryotic and prokaryotic molybdoenzymes require a molybdopterin cofactor(MoCF) for their activity. The biosynthesis of this cofactor involves acomplex multistep enzymatic pathway. One of the eukaryotic proteins involvedin this pathway is the Drosophila protein cinnamon []which is highly similar to gephyrin, a rat microtubule-associated protein which was thought to anchor the glycine receptor to subsynaptic microtubules.Cinnamon and gephyrin are evolutionary related, in their N-terminal half, to the Escherichia coli MoCF biosynthesis proteins mog/chlG and moaB/chlA2.
