The kynurenine pathway is essential for rhodoquinone biosynthesis in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

2019-05-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A key metabolic adaptation for some species that face hypoxia as part of their life-cycle involves an alternative electron transport chain in which rhodoquinone (RQ) is required for fumarate reduction and ATP production. RQ biosynthesis in bacteria and protists requires ubiquinone (Q) as a precursor. In contrast, Q is not a precursor for RQ biosynthesis in animals such as parasitic helminths, an...
