Function

Plays a central role in 2-thiolation of mcm(5)S(2)U at tRNA wobble positions of cytosolic tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln). Also essential during biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. Acts by mediating the C-terminal thiocarboxylation of sulfur carriers URM1 and MOCS2A. Its N-terminus first activates URM1 and MOCS2A as acyl-adenylates (-COAMP), then the persulfide sulfur on the catalytic cysteine is transferred to URM1 and MOCS2A to form thiocarboxylation (-COSH) of their C-terminus. The reaction probably involves hydrogen sulfide that is generated from the persulfide intermediate and that acts as a nucleophile towards URM1 and MOCS2A. Subsequently, a transient disulfide bond is formed. Does not use thiosulfate as sulfur donor; NFS1 acting as a sulfur donor for thiocarboxylation reactions.

Activity summary

MOCS3 also known as Molybdenum Cofactor Synthesis 3 is an important enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. It has a molecular mass of approximately 101 kDa. This enzyme localizes mainly in the cytoplasm and plays a role as a partner in the transfer of sulfur in the form of a thiocarboxylate to L-cysteine. MOCS3 helps catalyze the synthesis of the MPT precursor Z ligand which is important for the formation of active molybdenum cofactor a molecule required for various enzymatic reactions in the body.

Biological function summary

MOCS3 is integral to the tRNA thiolation and molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis processes. It participates in the formation of molybdopterin an organophosphate essential for the activity of the molybdenum enzymes. MOCS3 forms a complex with MOCS2A and MOCS2B collaborating to activate these enzymes. This association highlights its importance in ensuring the synthesis of vital cofactors that impact enzyme function.

Pathways

MOCS3 functionsally integrates into the molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis pathway and the tRNA thiolation pathway. These pathways ensure the correct function of molybdoenzymes and the proper configuration of tRNA molecules. MOCS3 interacts with the MOCS1 protein in the molybdenum cofactor pathway where they cooperatively synthesize components essential for the activity of molybdoenzymes. This connection ensures the proper formation and function of cellular enzymes that rely on molybdenum cofactor.

Associated diseases and disorders

MOCS3 dysfunction can lead to molybdenum cofactor deficiency a rare but serious disorder that disrupts the body’s ability to metabolize sulfite leading to neurological damage. It connects with the GPHN protein in this context as both are involved in maintaining correct molybdoenzyme function. Additionally abnormalities in MOCS3 have been linked to intellectual disability showcasing its significance in maintaining proper neurological health.
