| Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, 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 similarto 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 coliMoCF biosynthesis proteins mog/chlG and moaB/chlA2. | Short Name: | MoCF_biosynth_CS |
