Abstract excerpt
The bicistronic MOCS1 gene encodes two enzymatic activities that are necessary for the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo). Mutations in either of the two consecutive open reading frames are responsible for the majority of MoCo deficiency cases and result in a complementation group A phenotype. Two cDNA sequences have been described, which differ in the 5' sequence and encode for two forms of the...
