COQ2 also known as PDSS1 is a protein involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) an important molecule in cellular energy production. COQ2 has a molecular weight of approximately 39 kDa and is expressed mainly in the mitochondria of most tissues with high levels in energy-demanding tissues like the heart kidneys and liver. COQ2 serves as a polyprenyl transferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a polyprenyl group to para-hydroxybenzoate a critical step in the production of CoQ10.
Biological function summary

COQ2 plays a central role in producing CoQ10 a fundamental component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. COQ2 is part of the larger CoQ biosynthetic complex which includes several other COQ proteins. These proteins work together to ensure the correct synthesis and regulation of CoQ10. This collective action helps maintain cellular energy homeostasis and protects against oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals.

Pathways

COQ2 is an essential player in the coenzyme Q biosynthesis pathway and more generally in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Interaction with other proteins such as COQ3 and COQ9 further enhances its function in these pathways. COQ2's contribution to the electron transport chain allows efficient ATP production essential for overall cellular metabolism.

Mutations in the COQ2 gene have been linked to CoQ10 deficiency manifesting as various clinical conditions like nephrotic syndrome and cerebellar ataxia. Altered COQ2 function may impact COQ8 another affinity protein within the coenzyme Q biosynthesis pathway aggravating these conditions due to compromised energy production in affected tissues. Understanding these associations aids in deciphering how COQ2 mutations contribute to mitochondrial-related diseases.

Target data

Mediates the second step in the final reaction sequence of coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis (PubMed : 15153069, PubMed : 16400613, PubMed : 17374725, PubMed : 20526342). Catalyzes the prenylation of para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) with an all-trans polyprenyl donor (such as all-trans-decaprenyl diphosphate) (PubMed : 15153069, PubMed : 16400613, PubMed : 17374725, PubMed : 20526342). The length of the polyprenyl side chain varies depending on the species, in humans, the side chain is comprised of 10 isoprenyls (decaprenyl) producing CoQ10 (also known as ubiquinone), whereas rodents predominantly generate CoQ9 (PubMed : 15153069, PubMed : 16400613). However, this specificity is not complete, human tissues have low amounts of CoQ9 and rodent organs contain some CoQ10 (PubMed : 15153069). Plays a central role in the biosynthesis of CoQ10 (PubMed : 15153069, PubMed : 16400613, PubMed : 17374725). CoQ10 is a vital molecule that transports electrons from mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (PubMed : 16400613, PubMed : 17374725, PubMed : 27493029). CoQs also function as cofactors for uncoupling protein and play a role as regulators of the extracellularly-induced ceramide-dependent apoptotic pathway (PubMed : 16400613, PubMed : 17374725). Regulates mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and ROS production (pivotal events in cell death) in a tissue specific manner (By similarity).
