Name |
molybdenum cofactor cytidylyltransferase;
MocA;
CTP:molybdopterin cytidylyltransferase;
MoCo cytidylyltransferase;
Mo-MPT cytidyltransferase
|
Class |
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;
Nucleotidyltransferases
|
Sysname |
CTP:molybdenum cofactor cytidylyltransferase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
CTP + molybdenum cofactor = diphosphate + cytidylyl molybdenum cofactor [RN: R11582]
|
Reaction(KEGG) |
|
Substrate |
|
Product |
diphosphate [CPD: C00013];
cytidylyl molybdenum cofactor [CPD: C21485]
|
Comment |
Catalyses the cytidylation of the molybdenum cofactor. This modification occurs only in prokaryotes. Divalent cations such as Mg2+ or Mn2+ are required for activity. ATP or GTP cannot replace CTP.
