Description | This family consists of YgfN, whose function is not clear. YgfN was identified as a molybdenum-binding subunit of a putative molydbopterin-containing selenate reductase complex consisting of proteins YgfK, YgfM and YgfN [ , ]. However, another study showed that a mutation in the gene (b2881) encoding this protein conferred sensitivity to adenine, which is associated with impaired synthesis of guanine nucleotides from adenine during purine salvage []. YgfN is also known as XdhD, as it has been suggested to be a molybdenum-containing protein of the xanthine oxidase family []. | Name | Molybdenum-binding protein YgfN/XdhD |
Short Name | Mo-bd_YgfN/XdhD | Type | Family |
