Disease relevance of MOCS3

  • The human MOCS3 protein contains an N-terminal domain similar to the Escherichia coli MoeB protein and a C-terminal segment displaying similarities to the sulfurtransferase rhodanese [1].
 

High impact information on MOCS3

  • The human MOCS3 protein contains an N-terminal domain similar to the Escherichia coli MoeB protein and a C-terminal segment displaying similarities to the sulfurtransferase rhodanese [2].
  • In contrast to other mammalian rhodaneses, which are mostly localized within mitochondria, MOCS3 in addition to the subunits of MPT synthase are localized in the cytosol [2].
  • Recent studies have shown that the MOCS3 rhodanese-like domain (MOCS3-RLD) catalyzes the transfer of sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide and is also able to provide the sulfur for the thiocarboxylation of MOCS2A in a defined in vitro system for the generation of MPT from precursor Z [1].
