Uncoupling de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis from mitochondrial electron transport by ectopic expression of cytosolic DHODH
2024-08-09
Abstract excerpt
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. In most eukaryotes, this enzyme is bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it couples the synthesis of orotate with the reduction of ubiquinone. As ubiquinone must be regenerated by respiratory complex III, pyrimidine biosynthesis and cellular respiration are tightly coupled. Consequently, inhibition...
