Description4-Hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as p-hydroxybenzoate or 4-carboxyphenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In yeast, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in prenyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the prenylation of para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) with an all-trans polyprenyl group. Mediates the second step in the final reaction sequence of coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis, which is the condensation of the polyisoprenoid side chain with PHB
Gene Name:
COQ2
Uniprot ID:
P32378
Molecular weight:
41001.0
Reactions
A polyprenyl diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoate → diphosphate + a 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate.
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl moiety from farnesyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins such as a-factor and RAS. The beta subunit is responsible for peptide-binding
Gene Name:
RAM1
Uniprot ID:
P22007
Molecular weight:
