EC 4.6.1.17 Details
EC number
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)
Comment
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.
History
created 2011 as EC 4.1.99.18, part transferred 2016 to EC 4.6.1.17
