== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q6MWY3_MYCTU Q6MWY3_MYCTU] Converts molybdopterin precursor Z into molybdopterin. This requires the incorporation of two sulfur atoms into precursor Z to generate a dithiolene group. The sulfur is provided by MoaD.[ARBA:ARBA00025448]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Molybdoenzymes are essential for the survival and pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and require the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo). The biosynthesis of MoCo involves the molybdopterin (MPT) synthase complex, which is composed of the MoaD and MoaE subunits. The genome of M. tuberculosis encodes three homologs of MoaE: MoaE1, MoaE2, and MoaXE (the latter being a MoaE component of a MoaD-MoaE fusion protein known as MoaX), as well as three MoaD proteins. However, the structural basis for their functional specificity and interaction with MoaD partners remains unclear. We determined the crystal structures of all three MoaE proteins, revealing a conserved alpha/beta hammerhead fold with distinct binding interface features resulting from minor sequence variations. Pull-down assays demonstrate that MoaE2 and MoaXE selectively interact with their cognate MoaD partners, while MoaE1 exhibits promiscuous binding to all MoaD forms. Although the structural plasticity of MoaE1 enables binding to three MoaD forms, it suggests that not all MoaE-MoaD combinations yield functional MPT synthase complexes, as structural rearrangements can lead to enzymatic inactivation. Our findings provide detailed insights into the molecular determinants that govern the assembly and specificity of MPT synthase in M. tuberculosis.
