molybdopterin synthase complex

Term ID
GO:1990140
Synonyms
  • molybdopterin cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis sulfurtransferase complex
  • MPT synthase complex
Definition
A heterotetrameric protein complex that catalyses sulfur transfer from the sulfur carrier subunit of molybdopterin synthase to precursor Z to synthesize molybdopterin as part of molybdopterin cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis. In E. coli the subunits are MoaE and MoaD; in human, MOCS2B and MOCS2A. Moco biosynthesis and its constituent molecules are evolutionarily conserved. (2)
