STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

coq-8Atypical kinase coq-8, mitochondrial; Atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. Its substrate specificity is unclear: either acts as protein kinase that phosphorylates other proteins in the CoQ complex to stabilize their interactions or acts as a small molecule kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway. (755 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
coq-3
Ubiquinone biosynthesis O-methyltransferase, mitochondrial; O-methyltransferase that catalyzes the 2 O-methylation steps in the ubiquinone biosynthetic pathway; Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. UbiG/COQ3 family.
  
 0.990
coq-5
2-methoxy-6-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol methylase, mitochondrial; Methyltransferase required for the conversion of 2- polyprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DDMQH2) to 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl- 6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DMQH2).
   
 
 0.987
coq-1
COenzyme Q (Ubiquinone) biosynthesis; Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
  
 
 0.982
coq-4
Ubiquinone biosynthesis protein coq-4, mitochondrial; Component of the coenzyme Q biosynthetic pathway. May play a role in organizing a multi-subunit COQ enzyme complex required for coenzyme Q biosynthesis. Required for steady-state levels of other COQ polypeptides; Belongs to the COQ4 family.
   
 
 0.981
coq-2
4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the prenylation of para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) with an all-trans polyprenyl group. Mediates the second step in the final reaction sequence of coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis, which is the condensation of the polyisoprenoid side chain with PHB, generating the first membrane-bound Q intermediate; Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.
  
 
 0.980
coq-6
Ubiquinone biosynthesis monooxygenase COQ6, mitochondrial; FAD-dependent monooxygenase required for the C5-ring hydroxylation during ubiquinone biosynthesis. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 3-polyprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid to 3-polyprenyl- 4,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The electrons required for the hydroxylation reaction may be funneled indirectly from NADPH via a ferredoxin/ferredoxin reductase system to COQ6; Belongs to the UbiH/COQ6 family.
   
 
 0.976
Y32H12A.7
ABC1 domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.951
clk-1
5-demethoxyubiquinone hydroxylase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl-6- methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol (DMQH2) during ubiquinone biosynthesis. Has also a structural role in the COQ enzyme complex, stabilizing other COQ polypeptides. Involved in lifespan determination in a ubiquinone- independent manner; Belongs to the COQ7 family.
   
 
 0.808
atp-2
ATP synthase subunit beta, mitochondrial; Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the c [...]
