Protein Family Models

This family includes the MobA protein (Molybdopterin-guanine dinucleotide biosynthesis protein A). The family also includes a wide range of other NTP transferase domain. (from Pfam)

Members of this family are enzymes which catalyse the formation of 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol from cytidine triphosphate and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) [1].

molybdenum cofactor cytidylyltransferase transfers a CMP moiety from CTP to Mo-molybdopterin (Mo-MPT) cofactor (Moco or molybdenum cofactor) to form Mo-molybdopterin cytosine dinucleotide (Mo-MCD) cofactor

Members of this protein include MocA, which transfers cytosine from CTP to molybdopterin during molybdopterin cytosine dinucleotide (MCD) cofactor biosynthesis. It is distantly related to MobA, the GTP:molybdopterin guanylyltransferase. The MocA family is particularly closely related in phylogenetic distribution to other markers of selenium-dependent molybdenum hydroxylases (SDMH), suggesting most SDMH must use MCD rather than molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide.
