Popis: International audience; Coenzyme Q (Q) is a redox lipid that is central for the energetic metabolism of eukaryotes. The biosynthesis of Q from the aromatic precursor 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HB) is understood fairly well. However, biosynthetic details of how 4-HB is produced from tyrosine remain elusive. Here, we provide key insights into this long-standing biosynthetic problem by uncovering molecular details of the first and last reactions of the pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, namely the deamination of tyrosine to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate by Aro8 and Aro9, and the oxidation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde to 4-HB by Hfd1. Inactivation of the HFD1 gene in yeast resulted in Q deficiency, which was rescued by the human enzyme ALDH3A1. This suggests that a similar pathway operates in animals, including humans, and led us to propose that patients with genetically unassigned Q deficiency should be screened for mutations in aldehyde dehydrogenase genes, especially ALDH3A1.
