Summary

MOCS2 (molybdenum cofactor synthesis 2, HGNC:7193) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q11.2, encoding Molybdopterin synthase catalytic subunit (O96007). Catalytic subunit of the molybdopterin synthase complex, a complex that catalyzes the conversion of precursor Z into molybdopterin.

Eukaryotic molybdoenzymes use a unique molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) consisting of a pterin, termed molybdopterin, and the catalytically active metal molybdenum. MoCo is synthesized from precursor Z by the heterodimeric enzyme molybdopterin synthase. The large and small subunits of molybdopterin synthase are both encoded from this gene by overlapping open reading frames. The proteins were initially thought to be encoded from a bicistronic transcript. They are now thought to be encoded from monocistronic transcripts. Alternatively spliced transcripts have been found for this locus that encode the large and small subunits.

Function. Catalytic subunit of the molybdopterin synthase complex, a complex that catalyzes the conversion of precursor Z into molybdopterin. Acts by mediating the incorporation of 2 sulfur atoms from thiocarboxylated MOCS2A into precursor Z to generate a dithiolene group. Together with MBIP, inhibits the activity of stress kinase EIF2AK2/PKR; this may suppress JNK activation and subsequent stress-responsive transcription, or suppress eIF2a phosphorylation to favor translation.

Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer; composed of 2 small (MOCS2A) and 2 large (MOCS2B) subunits. Component of the molybdopterin synthase complex consisting of MOCS2A and MOCS2B. Interacts with the histone acetyltransferase ATAC complex component MBIP; the interaction is direct and enhances the interaction between MBIP and protein kinase EIF2AK2/PKR. Interacts with protein kinase EIF2AK2/PKR; the interaction is direct and enhances the interaction between EIF2AK2 and MBIP.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Highest levels are found in heart and skeletal muscle. Lower levels are present in brain, kidney and pancreas. Very low levels are found in lung and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Disease relevance. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency B (MOCODB) [MIM:252160] An autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by neonatal onset of intractable seizures, opisthotonus, and facial dysmorphism associated with hypouricemia and elevated urinary sulfite levels. Affected individuals show severe neurologic damage and often die in early childhood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway. Cofactor biosynthesis; molybdopterin biosynthesis.

Miscellaneous. This protein is produced by a bicistronic gene which also produces the small subunit (MOCS2A) from an overlapping reading frame. Expression of these 2 proteins are related since a mutation that removes the start codon of the small subunit (MOCS2A) also impairs expression of the large subunit (MOCS2B).

Similarity. Belongs to the MoaE family. MOCS2B subfamily.
