COQ2

4-hydroxybenzoate octaprenyltransferase, L000000379, YNR041C
Para hydroxybenzoate polyprenyl transferase; catalyzes the second step in ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) biosynthesis; human COQ2, mutations in which are implicated in an increased risk of mutiple-system atrophy, is able to complement a yeast coq2 null mutant

Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

Complementation of coenzyme Q-deficient yeast by coenzyme Q analogues requires the isoprenoid side chain.

James AM, Cocheme HM, Murai M, Miyoshi H, Murphy MP

The ubiquinone coenzyme Q (CoQ) is synthesized in mitochondria with a large, hydrophobic isoprenoid side chain. It functions in mitochondrial respiration as well as protecting membranes from oxidative damage. Yeast that cannot synthesize CoQ (DeltaCoQ) are viable, but cannot grow on nonfermentable carbon sources, unless supplied with ubiquinone. Previously we demonstrated that the isoprenoid side chain of the exogenous ubiquinone ... [more]

Throughput

  • Low Throughput

Ontology Terms

  • phenotype: vegetative growth (APO:0000106)

Additional Notes

  • double mutants show impaired growth even in the presence of exogenous CoQ, unlike single mutants
