Function[MOEA_ECOLI] Catalyzes the insertion of molybdate into adenylated molybdopterin with the concomitant release of AMP.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedMoeA is involved in synthesis of the molybdopterin cofactor, although its function is not yet clearly defined. The three-dimensional structure of the Escherichia coli protein was solved at 2.2 A resolution. The locations of highly conserved residues among the prokaryotic and eukaryotic MoeA homologs identifies a cleft in the dimer interface as the likely functional site. Of the four domains of MoeA, domain 2 displays a novel fold and domains 1 and 4 each have only one known structural homolog. Domain 3, in contrast, is structurally similar to many other proteins. The protein that resembles domain 3 most closely is MogA, another protein required for molybdopterin cofactor synthesis. The overall similarity between MoeA and MogA, and the similarities in a constellation of residues that are strongly conserved in MoeA, suggests that these proteins bind similar ligands or substrates and may have similar functions.
