The Role of System-Specific Molecular Chaperones in the Maturation of Molybdoenzymes in Bacteria

Figure 3

Schematic overview and organisation of operons including xdhC-like genes. Shown is the operon organization of different operons encoding for molybdoenzymes of the xanthine oxidase family of different bacteria. Operons of characterized molybdoenzymes are marked in blue, highlighted in red are the predicted genes encoding XdhC homologues, marked in green are genes for putative MocA-homologues, and marked in white are open reading frames encoding proteins with different (or not assigned) roles. In the operon structure encoding for the CODH, blue dots indicate predicted promoter sequences as published by Santiago et al. [27].
