Caenorhabditis elegans
COQ-5
CELE_ZK652.9, ZK652.9
coq-5 encodes a putative 2-hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone methyltransferase, homologous to COQ5 in S. cerevisiae and to a family of methyltransferases involved in ubiquinone, menaquinone, biotin and sterol biosynthesis and in phosphatidylethanolamine methylation; COQ-5 is required for ubiquinone (coenzyme Q9) biosynthesis and for normally short lifespan; coq-5 can transgenically rescue a coq-5 deletion in S. cerevisiae; coq-5(RNAi) animals have reduced levels of coenzyme Q9 and superoxide, and have abnormally long lifespans.
