| Type: | Family | Name: | Probable selenate reductase, molybdenum-binding subunit |
| Description: | This entry represents a subunit of a selenium-dependent molybdenum hydroxylase. This protein is suggested to be the molybdenum-binding subunit of a containing-containing selenate reductase [, ]. However, it has been shown that a mutation of this gene in Escherichia coliconferred sensitivity to adenine, suggesting a defect in purine interconversion []. This finding, plus homology of nearby genes in a 23-gene purine catabolism region in E. coli to xanthine dehydrogenase subunits suggests xanthine dehydrogenase activity. | Short Name: | Se_red_Mo-bd_su |
