Disease relevance of FMO1

  • The properties of FMO3 cDNA expressed in Escherichia coli were found to be more similar to those of FMO1 than FMO2, but to differ significantly from both [1].
 

High impact information on FMO1

  • The FMO1 gene appears to be under control of an unfolded protein response element and is inducible by factors, such as reductive stress, that elicit the unfolded protein response [2].
  • 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 [3].
  • Based on sequence homology to known proteins, we suggest that COQ6 encodes a flavin-dependent monooxygenase required for one or more steps in Q biosynthesis [4].
  • Of these, 117 clones remained under high stringency hybridization conditions (65 degrees C, 50% formamide, 0.1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS) and were identified as FMO1 (95 clones) or FMO5 (22 clones) [1].
  • A cDNA library was constructed from rabbit liver mRNA and screened under low stringency hybridization conditions (30 degrees C, 50% formamide, 1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS) with the mixture of 5' FMO1, FMO2, and FMO5 cDNA probes [1].
 

Biological context of FMO1

 

Anatomical context of FMO1

  • RNA blot analysis showed that the mouse FMO1 was also expressed in the lung and kidney and to lesser extents in the heart, spleen, testis and brain [5].
