Disease relevance of CAT5

 

High impact information on CAT5

  • Deletion of CAT5 caused a complete loss of glucose derepression affecting gluconeogenic key enzymes [2].
  • The CAT5 gene is necessary for UAS1PCK1 and UAS2PCK1 protein binding since a carbon source-specific interaction was no longer detectable in cat5 mutants [2].
  • By screening for mutants that failed to derepress a UAS2PCK1-CYC1-lacZ reporter gene we isolated the new recessive derepression mutation cat5 [2].
  • Mitochondria isolated from COQ7-deficient cells secreted more than 30 times as much H(2)O(2) at 42 as at 30 degrees C, while mitochondria isolated from cells simultaneously deficient in NDE1 and NDE2 secreted no H(2)O(2) [3].
  • Here we show that addition of Q to the growth media also stabilizes the Coq3 and Coq4 polypeptides in the coq7 null mutant [1].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of CAT5

 

Biological context of CAT5

 

Anatomical context of CAT5

  • CAT5 functions as a high-affinity, basic amino acid transporter at the plasma membrane [8].
  • Morphological studies showed that COQ7-deficient neuroepithelial cells failed to show the radial arrangement in the developing cerebral wall, aborting neurogenesis at E10 [5].
 

Associations of CAT5 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of CAT5

  • The ubiF gene encodes a flavin-dependent monooxygenase that shares no homology to the Coq7 protein and is required for the final monooxygenase step of Q biosynthesis in E. coli [1].
  • The expression profiles suggest that CAT5 may function in reuptake of leaking amino acids at the leaf margin, while CAT8 is expressed in young and rapidly dividing tissues such as young leaves and root apical meristem [8].
