Molybdenum cofactors, enzymes and pathways

Nature, 2009
The trace element molybdenum is essential for nearly all organisms and forms the catalytic centre of a large variety of enzymes such as nitrogenase, nitrate reductases, sulphite oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductases. Nature has developed two scaffolds holding molybdenum in place, the iron-molybdenum cofactor and pterin-based molybdenum cofactors ...

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1993
We describe a new case of molybdenum cofactor deficiency, an underrecognized inborn error of metabolism that results in neonatal seizures and neurologic abnormalities. Characteristic biochemical defects in affected individuals include hypouricemia, elevated urine sulfate (detectable by dipstick), and elevated S-sulfocysteine (detectable by anion ...

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2016
Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is a severe autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism first described in 1978. It is characterized by a neonatal presentation of intractable seizures, feeding difficulties, severe developmental delay, microcephaly with brain atrophy and coarse facial features.

MOLYBDENUM COFACTOR BIOSYNTHESIS AND MOLYBDENUM ENZYMES

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2006
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) forms the active site of all eukaryotic molybdenum (Mo) enzymes. Moco consists of molybdenum covalently bound to two sulfur atoms of a unique tricyclic pterin moiety referred to as molybdopterin. Moco is synthesized from GTP by an ancient and conserved biosynthetic pathway that can be divided into four steps involving ...

Molybdenum enzymes and molybdenum cofactor in mycobacteria

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2011
When intracelluar pathogens enter the host macrophages where in addition to oxidative and antibiotic mechanisms of antimicrobial activity, nutrients are deprived. Human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of macrophage parasitisms, which can replicate and persist for decades in dormancy state in virulent environments.

Human Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency

1993
Molybdenum cofactor deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism first identified in 1980.1,2 Cofactor deficient patients exhibit combined deficiencies of three molybdoenzymes, sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase, all of which depend on the presence of a tightly bound molybdenum-molybdopterin complex for catalytic activity.

Molybdenum Cofactor Biosynthesis

2016
The biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is highly conserved among all kingdoms of life. In all molybdoenzymes with the exception of nitrogenase, the molybdenum atom is coordinated to a dithiolene group present in the pterin-based 6-alkyl side chain of molybdopterin (MPT).
