molybdopterin converting factor, subunit 1, non-archaeal This model describes MoaD. It excludes archaeal homologs, since many Archaea have two MoaD-like proteins, suggesting two different functions. pfam02597 describes both the thiamine biosynthesis protein ThiS and this protein, MoaD, a subunit (together with MoaE, pfam02391) of the molybdopterin converting factor. Both ThiS and MoaD are involved in sulfur transfer reactions. Distribution of this family appears limited to species that also have a member of pfam02391, but a number of Archaea have two different members, suggesting functionally distinct subtypes. The C-terminal Gly-Gly of this model is critical to function. [Biosynthesis of cofactors, prosthetic groups, and carriers, Molybdopterin]
