Associations of ubiC with chemical compounds

  • Although ubiquinone is implicated in antioxidant roles, ubiC expression was not elevated in response to hydrogen peroxide or the redox cycling agent, paraquat [10].
  • Anaerobically utilised electron acceptors (nitrite, nitrate, fumarate) did not affect expression. ubiC expression appears to be negatively regulated by Fnr and IHF [10].
  • Sequencing of the ubiC gene of the mutant strain AN244 revealed a G-->A transition resulting in a change from glutamic acid to lysine [9].
  • 4HB produced by the CPL reaction was utilized for shikonin biosynthesis, as shown by in vivo inhibition of the native pathway to 4HB with 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), an inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase [7].
