Abstract excerpt
The activity of bc1 complex kinase (ABC1K) family is a large group of atypical protein kinases found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In bacteria and mitochondria, ABC1K kinases are necessary for the synthesis of coenzyme Q and are therefore involved in the respiratory pathway. In chloroplasts, they are involved in prenylquinone synthesis and stress responses, but their functional role remains unclear. Plants can...
