[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CNX1_ARATH CNX1_ARATH]] Catalyzes two steps in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. In the first step, molybdopterin is adenylated. Subsequently, molybdate is inserted into adenylated molybdopterin and AMP is released.<ref>PMID:15504727</ref> <ref>PMID:16636046</ref> <ref>PMID:12590921</ref> <ref>PMID:15306815</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is a redox-active prosthetic group found in the active site of Moco-dependent enzymes, which are vitally important for life. Moco biosynthesis involves several enzymes that catalyze the subsequent conversion of GTP into cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP), molybdopterin (MPT), adenylated MPT (MPT-AMP), and finally Moco. While the underlying principles of cPMP, MPT, and MPT-AMP formation are well understood, the molybdenum insertase (Mo-insertase)-catalyzed final Moco maturation step is not. In the present study, we analyzed high-resolution X-ray datasets of the plant Mo-insertase Cnx1E that revealed two molybdate-binding sites within the active site, hence improving the current view on Cnx1E functionality. The presence of molybdate anions in either of these sites is tied to a distinctive backbone conformation, which we suggest to be essential for Mo-insertase molybdate selectivity and insertion efficiency.
