Glossary:

molybdopterin = H2Dtpp-mP = [(5aR,8R,9aR)-2-amino-4-oxo-6,7-bis(sulfanyl)-4,5,5a,8,9a,10-hexahydro-1H-pyrano[3,2-g]pteridin-8-yl]methyl dihydrogen phosphate
molybdate = tetraoxidomolybdate(2^-) = MoO₄^2-
molybdenum cofactor = MoCo = MoO2(OH)Dtpp-mP = {[(5aR,8R,9aR)-2-amino-4-oxo-6,7-bis(sulfanyl-κS)-1,5,5a,8,9a,10-hexahydro-4H-pyrano[3,2-g]pteridin-8-yl]methyl dihydrogenato(2^-) phosphate}(dioxo)molybdate

Other name(s):

MoeA; Cnx1 (ambiguous)

Systematic name:

adenylyl-molybdopterin:molybdate molybdate transferase (AMP-forming)

Comments:

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.
