Namecoenzyme PQQ biosynthesis
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionCoenzyme PQQ (coenzyme pyrrolo-quinoline-quinone) production is associated with an operon that includes a small protein, PqqA, proposed to act as a molecular precursor. PQQ is a cofactor of certain alcohol dehydrogenases and glucose dehydrogenases.
