MoaF protein is essential for the production of the monoamine-inducible 30kDa protein in Klebsiella [1]. It is necessary for reconstituting organoautotrophic growth in Ralstonia eutropha [2]. It is conserved in Proteobacteria and some lower eukaryotes. The operon regulating the Moa genes is responsible for molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis. This entry corresponds to the C-terminal domain.
