ENZYME entry: EC 2.8.1.9

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.8.1.9
Accepted Name
molybdenum cofactor sulfurtransferase
Alternative Name(s)
MoCo sulfurase
MoCo sulfurtransferase
molybdenum cofactor sulfurase
Reaction catalysed
Mo-molybdopterin + L-cysteine + AH2 = thio-Mo-molybdopterin + L-alanine + A + H2O
Comment(s)
  • Replaces the equatorial oxo ligand of the molybdenum by sulfur via an enzyme-bound persulfide.
  • The reaction occurs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes but MoCo sulfurtransferases are only found in eukaryotes.
  • In prokaryotes the reaction is catalyzed by two enzymes: EC 2.8.1.7, which is homologous to the N-terminus of eukaryotic MoCo sulfurtransferases, and a molybdo-enzyme specific chaperone which binds the MoCo and acts as an adapter protein.
