MOONLIGHTING FUNCTIONS. “Certain members of the ATP-grasp and cupin superfamilies lack (known) enzymatic activities and act solely as ATP-binding (synapsin), auxin-binding, or seed storage proteins. Many enzymes acquire such additional (typically non-enzymatic) functions even without the loss of their catalytic activity. This phenomenon, referred to as “moonlighting”, is usually observed when the respective genes are expressed in atypical environments (tissue, cell organelle, or secreted).”
