CoQ(6) (coenzyme Q(6)) biosynthesis in yeast is a well-regulated process that requires the final conversion of the late intermediate DMQ(6) (demethoxy-CoQ(6)) into CoQ(6) in order to support respiratory metabolism in yeast. The gene CAT5/COQ7 encodes the Cat5/Coq7 protein that catalyses

Coenzyme Q (Q) is a lipid that functions as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain in eukaryotes. There are eight complementation groups of Q-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants, designated coq1-coq8. Here we have isolated the COQ6 gene by functional

Increasing concentrations of glucose (1-5%) in the growth medium depressed ubiquinone-6 biosynthesis in continuously cultured wild type Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, an early intermediate in the pathway of ubiquinone-6 biosynthesis, i.e. 3,4-dihydroxy-5-hexaprenylbenzoate (3,4-DHHB), was found to accumulate. The increase in

Coenzyme Q is a lipid molecule required for respiration and antioxidant protection. Q biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires nine proteins (Coq1p-Coq9p). We demonstrate in this study that Q levels are modulated during growth by its conversion from demethoxy-Q (DMQ), a

The mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae E3-24 is unable to synthesize ubiquinone-6. When this mutant is grown in the presence of p-hydroxy[U-14C]benzoate or p-hydroxy[carboxy-14C]benzoate, a radioactive compound accumulates. This new metabolite has been isolated and identified as 3,4-dihydroxy-5-hexaprenylbenzoate (3,4-DHHB). Aerobically
