TLDR
This work highlights recent progress toward filling knowledge gaps in CoQ biosynthesis through both traditional biochemistry and cutting-edge 'omics' approaches and presents questions framed by the recently discovered Co Q biosynthesis complex and by putative biophysical barriers.

Proteomic Mapping of Mitochondria in Living Cells via Spatially Restricted Enzymatic Tagging

TL;DR: In this article, a peroxidase-based method was used to identify 495 proteins within the human mitochondrial matrix, including 31 proteins not previously linked to mitochondria, and the labeling was exceptionally specific and distinguished between inner membrane proteins facing the matrix versus the intermembrane space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting ferroptosis as a vulnerability in cancer

TL;DR: The current understanding of ferroptosis-inducing and ferroPTosis defence mechanisms is summarized, the roles and mechanisms of ferraptosis in tumour suppression and tumour immunity are dissected, and therapeutic strategies for targeting ferroaptosis in cancer are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial dysfunction-related lipid changes occur in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease progression

TL;DR: It is proposed that increased levels of cardiolipin and ubiquinone may help to preserve mitochondrial function in early NAFLD, but that mitochondrial function eventually fails with progression to NASH, leading to increased acylcarnitine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial regulation of ferroptosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the diverse metabolic processes in mitochondria that actively drive ferroptosis, discuss recently discovered mitochondria-localized defense systems that detoxify mitochondrial lipid peroxides and protect against ferrosinosis, and outline outstanding questions on this fascinating topic for future investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coenzyme Q10 deficiencies: pathways in yeast and humans.

TL;DR: Yeast provides a simple yet effective model to investigate and define the function and possible pathology of human COQ (yeast or human gene involved in CoQ biosynthesis) gene polymorphisms and mutations.

A novel mutation in COQ2 leading to fatal infantile multisystem disease

TL;DR: A novel homozygous mutation in COQ2 is reported in a dizygotic twin from consanguineous Turkish parents with primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency, which could be under diagnosed in patients with fatal neonatal or infantile multi-organ disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular characterization of the human COQ5 C-methyltransferase in coenzyme Q10 biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The results presented suggest that human and Escherichia coli Coq5 homologs expressed in yeast retain C-methyltransferase activity but are capable of rescuing the coq5 yeast mutants only when the CoQ-synthome is assembled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome associated with muscular coenzyme Q10 deficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the case of a 4-year-old girl who presented a CFC syndrome, confirmed by the presence of a pathogenic R257Q BRAF gene mutation, together with a muscular CoQ10 deficiency.
