Summary
COQ9 (coenzyme Q9, HGNC:25302) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q21, encoding Ubiquinone biosynthesis protein COQ9, mitochondrial (O75208). Membrane-associated protein that warps the membrane surface to access and bind aromatic isoprenes with high specificity, including ubiquinone (CoQ) isoprene intermediates and presents them directly to COQ7, therefore facilitating the COQ7-mediated hydroxylase step.
This locus represents a mitochondrial ubiquinone biosynthesis gene. The encoded protein is likely necessary for biosynthesis of coenzyme Q10, as mutations at this locus have been associated with autosomal-recessive neonatal-onset primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency.

Function. Membrane-associated protein that warps the membrane surface to access and bind aromatic isoprenes with high specificity, including ubiquinone (CoQ) isoprene intermediates and presents them directly to COQ7, therefore facilitating the COQ7-mediated hydroxylase step. Participates in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Heterodimer; two heterodimers of COQ7:COQ9 come together on the same side of the lipid pseudo-bilayer and form a curved tetramer with a hydrophobic surface suitable for membrane interaction. These two tetramers assemble into a soluble octamer with a pseudo-bilayer of lipids captured within. Interacts with COQ7; this interaction allows ubiquinone (CoQ) isoprene intermediates presentation to COQ7 and facilitates the COQ7-mediated hydroxylase step.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Post-translational modifications. In response to mitochondrial stress, the precursor protein is ubiquitinated by the SIFI complex in the cytoplasm before mitochondrial import, leading to its degradation. Within the SIFI complex, UBR4 initiates ubiquitin chain that are further elongated or branched by KCMF1.
Disease relevance. Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, primary, 5 (COQ10D5) [MIM:614654] A form of coenzyme Q10 deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder with variable manifestations consistent with 5 major phenotypes. The phenotypes include an encephalomyopathic form with seizures and ataxia; a multisystem infantile form with encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy and renal failure; a predominantly cerebellar form with ataxia and cerebellar atrophy; Leigh syndrome with growth retardation; and an isolated myopathic form. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Structurally similar to the bacterial FadR protein (fatty acid metabolism regulator protein).
Pathway. Cofactor biosynthesis; ubiquinone biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the COQ9 family.
