Ubiquinone Biosynthetic Complexes in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Abstract:

:Ubiquinone (UQ) is a conserved polyprenylated lipid essential to cellular respiration. Two papers, one in this issue of Cell Chemical Biology (Hajj Chehade et al., 2019) and another in Molecular Cell (Lohman et al., 2019), identify lipid-binding proteins that play crucial roles in chaperoning UQ-intermediates.
