[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MOBB_ECOLI MOBB_ECOLI]] GTP-binding protein that is not required for the biosynthesis of Mo-molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide (Mo-MGD) cofactor, and not necessary for the formation of active molybdoenzymes using this form of molybdenum cofactor. May act as an adapter protein to achieve the efficient biosynthesis and utilization of MGD. Displays a weak intrinsic GTPase activity. Is also able to bind the nucleotides ATP, TTP and GDP, but with lower affinity than GTP.<ref>PMID:9219527</ref> <ref>PMID:10978348</ref> <ref>PMID:12682065</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

Two proteins, which are co-transcribed in Escherichia coli (MobA and MobB), are involved in the attachment of a nucleotide moiety to the molybdenum cofactor to form active molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide. Although not essential for this process, the dimeric MobB increases the activation of molybdoenzymes, incorporating this cofactor by a mechanism that is not understood. The structure of MobB has been elucidated in two crystal forms, one of which has provided a model at 1.9-A resolution with Rwork and Rfree values of 21.5 and 28.7%, respectively. The MobB subunit displays an alpha/beta-fold arranged into a major and minor domain, the latter of which is inserted between the major and minor domains of the partner subunit, creating an elongated dimer constructed around a 16-stranded beta-sheet. Structural homologues have been identified, and they include a number of nucleotide-binding proteins. Comparisons indicate that although the phosphate-binding regions are highly conserved, MobB lacks the elements of structure required to interact with and efficiently bind a nucleotide base. In the present structure, a sulfate is bound to the Walker A phosphate-binding motif of MobB. The possibility that MobB forms a complex with the nucleotide-binding MobA, the protein with which it is co-transcribed, is explored, and modeling suggests that such a MobA:MobB complex is feasible. This hypothesis is supported by recent biochemical evidence indicating that MobB interacts with several proteins involved in various stages of molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis including MobA. We propose therefore that MobB is an adapter protein that acts in concert with MobA to achieve the efficient biosynthesis and utilization of molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide.
