Summary
MOCOS (molybdenum cofactor sulfurase, HGNC:18234) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q12.2, encoding Molybdenum cofactor sulfurase (Q96EN8). Sulfurates the molybdenum cofactor.
This gene encodes an enzyme that sulfurates the molybdenum cofactor which is required for activation of the xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) enzymes. XDH catalyzes the conversion of hypoxanthine to uric acid via xanthine, as well as the conversion of allopurinol to oxypurinol, and pyrazinamide to 5-hydroxy pyrazinamide. Mutations in this gene cause the metabolic disorder classical xanthinuria type II which is characterized by the loss of XDH/XO and AO enzyme activity, decreased levels of uric acid in the urine, increased levels of xanthine and hypoxanthine in the serum and urine, formation of xanthine stones in the urinary tract, and myositis due to tissue deposition of xanthine.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Sulfurates the molybdenum cofactor. Sulfation of molybdenum is essential for xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and aldehyde oxidase (ADO) enzymes in which molybdenum cofactor is liganded by 1 oxygen and 1 sulfur atom in active form. In vitro, the C-terminal domain is able to reduce N-hydroxylated prodrugs, such as benzamidoxime.
Disease relevance. Xanthinuria 2 (XAN2) [MIM:603592] A disorder characterized by excretion of very large amounts of xanthine in the urine and a tendency to form xanthine stones. Uric acid is strikingly diminished in serum and urine. In addition, XAN2 patients cannot metabolize allopurinol into oxypurinol due to dual deficiency of xanthine dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Cofactor biosynthesis; molybdopterin biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. MOCOS subfamily.
