Figure 7. Formation of sulfurated bis-MGD.

Figure 7

It is proposed that bis-MDG is further modified by sulfuration. In the reaction for bis-MGD sulfuration for formate dehydrogenase FdhF in E. coli, the proteins FdhD and IscS are involved. FdhD likely binfd bis-MGD and IscS transfers the sulfur to the Mo atom by exchanging an oxo-group and adding the sulfido ligand. Afterwards, sulfurated bis-MGD is inserted into FdhF, which contains additionally an [4Fe4S] cluster.
