Caenorhabditis elegans

COQ-1

CELE_C24A11.9, tag-134, C24A11.9
coq-1 encodes a putative hexaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase, orthologous to S. cerevisiae COQ1; COQ-1 is required for ubiquinone (coenzyme Q9) biosynthesis and for normally short lifespan; coq-1 mutants have slowed pharyngeal pumping, and eventually arrest as paralysed larvae before dying; coq-1(RNAi) animals have reduced levels of coenzyme Q9 and superoxide, and have abnormally long lifespans; coq-1 mutants are not rescued by dietary coenzyme Q.
