Hmr | Hybrid male rescue (Hmr) encodes a protein required to repress transposable element and satellite DNA expression. It also has a gain-of-function phenotype of causing lethality in F1 male hybrids between D. melanogaster and D. simulans. (1413 aa) | ||||
heix | UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein 1 homolog; Prenyltransferase that mediates the formation of menaquinone- 4 (MK-4), a vitamin K2 isoform, thereby acting as a mitochondrial electron carrier. Mediates the conversion of phylloquinone (PK) into MK-4, probably by cleaving the side chain of phylloquinone (PK) to release 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione; K3) and then prenylating it with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to form MK-4. MK-4 acts as a membrane electron carrier downstream of a electron transport chain complex, improving mitochondrial oxygen consumption. (359 aa) |
