Summary
The moaA 5' UTR has a molybdenum cofactor (Moco) sensitive riboswitch. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11595]. Molybdenum and tungsten cofactors of all enzymes, with the exception of nitrogenase, that require one or the other of the other for activity are present in an oxidized state as molybdate or tungstate ions that are chelated by the cis-dithiolene moiety of a molybdenum cofactor. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11595].
