Comments [?]

case <OC:Fungi>
Function Acts as a sulfur carrier required for molybdopterin biosynthesis. Component of the molybdopterin synthase complex that catalyzes the conversion of precursor Z into molybdopterin by mediating the incorporation of 2 sulfur atoms into precursor Z to generate a dithiolene group. In the complex, serves as sulfur donor by being thiocarboxylated (-COSH) at its C-terminus by @gn(UBA4). After interaction with MOCS2B, the sulfur is then transferred to precursor Z to form molybdopterin.

Pathway Cofactor biosynthesis; molybdopterin biosynthesis.
Subunit Heterotetramer; composed of 2 small (MOCS2A) and 2 large (MOCS2B) subunits.
case <OC:Vertebrata>
Subcellular location Cytoplasm, cytosol.

Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
end case
case <OC:Fungi>
Ptm C-terminal thiocarboxylation occurs in 2 steps, it is first acyl-adenylated (-COAMP) via the hesA/moeB/thiF part of @gn(UBA4), then thiocarboxylated (-COSH) via the rhodanese domain of @gn(UBA4).

case <OC:Mammalia>
Miscellaneous This protein is produced by a bicistronic gene which also produces the large subunit (MOCS2B) from an overlapping reading frame.
else case <OC:Vertebrata> or <OC:Insecta>
