MoaE Is Involved in Response to Oxidative Stress in .

Molybdenum ions are covalently bound to molybdenum pterin (MPT) to produce molybdenum cofactor (Moco), a compound essential for the catalytic activity of molybdenum enzymes, which is involved in a variety of biological functions. MoaE is the large subunit of MPT synthase and plays a key role in Moco synthesis. Here, we investigated the function of MoaE in (DrMoaE) in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating that the protein contributed to the extreme resistance of .
