Structured_description Provisional_description coq-5 encodes a putative ubiquinone biosynthesis methyltransferase, homologous to COQ5 in S. cerevisiae and a family of methyltransferases involved in ubiquinone, menaquinone, biotin and sterol biosynthesis and in phosphatidylethanolamine methylation; COQ-5 is required for ubiquinone biosynthesis and for normally short lifespan; coq-5(RNAi) animals have reduced levels of coenzyme Q8, coenzyme Q9, and superoxide, and have abnormally long lifespans.
