Protein Domain : Molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, conserved site IPR008284

Type  Conserved_site
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 involved in 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.
