Summary
PDSS2 (decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2, HGNC:23041) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q21, encoding All trans-polyprenyl-diphosphate synthase PDSS2 (Q86YH6). Heterotetrameric enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), which acts as a primer, and isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to produce prenyl diphosphates of varying chain lengths and participates in the determination of the side chain of ubiquinone.
The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that synthesizes the prenyl side-chain of coenzyme Q, or ubiquinone, one of the key elements in the respiratory chain. The gene product catalyzes the formation of all trans-polyprenyl pyrophosphates from isopentyl diphosphate in the assembly of polyisoprenoid side chains, the first step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency.

Overall, our findings indicate that PDSS2 deficiency might be a novel driving factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development (PMID:29967258)
- Study identified the promoter region of the PDSS2 gene for the first time and demonstrated that Sp1 transcription factor could directly regulate the transcription of PDSS2. Also, the expression of Sp1 and PDSS2 are negatively correlated, and higher Sp1 expression with low PDSS2 expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis in lung cancer. (PMID:31783675)

Function. Heterotetrameric enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), which acts as a primer, and isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to produce prenyl diphosphates of varying chain lengths and participates in the determination of the side chain of ubiquinone. Supplies nona and decaprenyl diphosphate, the precursors for the side chain of the isoprenoid quinones ubiquinone-9 (Q9) and ubiquinone-10 (Q10) respectively. The enzyme adds isopentenyl diphosphate molecules sequentially to farnesyl diphosphate with trans stereochemistry. May play a role during cerebellar development. May regulate mitochondrial respiratory chain function.
Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer composed of 2 PDSS1/DPS1 and 2 PDSS2/DLP1 subunits.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Disease relevance. Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, primary, 3 (COQ10D3) [MIM:614652] A fatal encephalomyopathic form of coenzyme Q10 deficiency with nephrotic syndrome. Coenzyme Q10 deficiency is 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.
Pathway. Cofactor biosynthesis; ubiquinone biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 42 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
