Descriptions

COQ8A is an atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q. Autoinhibition is achieved by the N-terminal region containing KxGQ motif, which occludes the substrate binding site of the kinase domain within the same polypeptide. Mutation of A339G in A-rich loop significantly enhances selectively for ATP, and thus Ala-339 is a major structural determinant of coenzyme selectivity.

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
mitochondrial membrane Either of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope.
mitochondrion A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

2 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
kinase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a substrate molecule.

3 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cerebellar Purkinje cell layer morphogenesis The process in which the anatomical structure of the cerebellar Purkinje cell layer is generated and organized. The Purkinje cell layer lies just underneath the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex. It contains the neuronal cell bodies of the Purkinje cells that are arranged side by side in a single layer. Candelabrum interneurons are vertically oriented between the Purkinje cells. Purkinje neurons are inhibitory and provide the output of the cerebellar cortex through axons that project into the white matter. Extensive dendritic trees from the Purkinje cells extend upward in a single plane into the molecular layer where they synapse with parallel fibers of granule cells.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
ubiquinone biosynthetic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of ubiquinone, a lipid-soluble electron-transporting coenzyme.
