4.6.1.17 |
| Accepted name: |
cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate synthase |
| Reaction: |
(8S)-3′,8-cyclo-7,8-dihydroguanosine 5′-triphosphate = cyclic pyranopterin phosphate + diphosphate |
| Other name(s): |
MOCS1B (gene name); moaC (gene name); cnx3 (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
(8S)-3′,8-cyclo-7,8-dihydroguanosine 5′-triphosphate lyase (cyclic pyranopterin phosphate-forming) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme catalyses an early step in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo). In bacteria and plants the reaction is catalysed by MoaC and Cnx3, respectively. In mammals the reaction is catalysed by the MOCS1B domain of the bifuctional MOCS1 protein, which also catalyses EC 4.1.99.22, GTP 3′,8-cyclase. |
