Crystal structure of MoaB protein at 1.6 A resolution.
Overview
The crystal structure of Escherichia coli MoaB was determined by, multiwavelength anomalous diffraction phasing and refined at 1.6-A, resolution. The molecule displayed a modified Rossman fold. MoaB is, assembled into a hexamer composed of two trimers. The monomers have high, structural similarity with two proteins, MogA and MoeA, from the, molybdenum cofactor synthesis pathway in E. coli, as well as with domains, of mammalian gephyrin and plant Cnx1, which are also involved in, molybdopterin synthesis. Structural comparison between these proteins and, the amino acid conservation patterns revealed a putative active site in, MoaB. The structural analysis of this site allowed to advance several, hypothesis that can be tested in further studies.
