Background Descriptions | Ubiquinone, also known as coenzyme Q, or Q, is a critical component of the electron transport pathways of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes (Jonassen and Clarke, 2000 [PubMed 10777520]). This lipid consists of a hydrophobic isoprenoid tail and a quinone head group. The tail varies in length depending on the organism, but its purpose is to anchor coenzyme Q to the membrane. The quinone head group is responsible for the activity of coenzyme Q in the respiratory chain. The S. cerevisiae COQ3 gene encodes an O-methyltransferase required for 2 steps in the biosynthetic pathway of coenzyme Q. This enzyme methylates an early coenzyme Q intermediate, 3,4-dihydroxy-5-polyprenylbenzoic acid, as well as the final intermediate in the pathway, converting demethyl-ubiquinone to coenzyme Q. The COQ3 gene product is also capable of methylating the distinct prokaryotic early intermediate 2-hydroxy-6-polyprenyl phenol.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] |

Function | O-methyltransferase required for two non-consecutive steps during ubiquinone biosynthesis (By similarity) (PubMed:10777520, PubMed:38425362). Catalyzes the 2 O-methylation of 3,4-dihydroxy-5- (all-trans-decaprenyl)benzoic acid into 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-(all- trans-decaprenyl)benzoic acid (By similarity) (PubMed:10777520, PubMed:38425362). Also catalyzes the last step of ubiquinone biosynthesis by mediating methylation of 3-demethylubiquinone into ubiquinone (By similarity) (PubMed:38425362). Also able to mediate the methylation of 3-demethylubiquinol-10 into ubiquinol-10 (By similarity) (PubMed:10777520). |
