The final stages of bacterial molybdenum cofactor
(Moco) biosynthesis correspond to molybdenum chelation and nucleotide
attachment onto an unique and ubiquitous structure, the molybdopterin.
Using a bacterial two-hybrid approach, here we report on the in
vivo interactions between MogA, MoeA, MobA, and MobB implicated
in several distinct although linked steps in Escherichia
coli. Numerous interactions among these proteins have been
identified. Somewhat surprisingly, MobB, a GTPase with a yet unclear
function, interacts with MogA, MoeA, and MobA. Probing the effects of
various mo. mutations on the interaction map allowed us (i)
to distinguish Moco-sensitive interactants from insensitive ones
involving MobB and (ii) to demonstrate that molybdopterin is a key
molecule triggering or facilitating MogA-MoeA and MoeA-MobA
interactions. These results suggest that, in vivo,
molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis occurs on protein complexes rather
than by the separate action of molybdenum cofactor biosynthetic proteins.
