Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q or Q) is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in eukaryotic cells. There are eight complementation groups of Q-deficientSaccharomyces cerevisiae mutants designatedcoq1-coq8. Here we report that COQ8 isABC1 (for Activity of bc 1 complex), which was originally isolated as a multicopy suppressor of a cytochrome bmRNA translation defect (Bousquet, I., Dujardin, G., and Slonimski, P. P. (1991) EMBO J. 10, 2023–2031). Previous studies of abc1 mutants suggested that the mitochondrial respiratory complexes were thermosensitive and function inefficiently. Although initial characterization of the abc1 mutants revealed characteristics of Q-deficient mutants, levels of Q were reported to be similar to wild type. The suggested function of Abc1p was that it acts as a chaperone-like protein essential for the proper conformation and functioning of the bc 1 and its neighboring complexes (Brasseur, G., Tron, P., Dujardin, G., Slonimski, P. P. (1997) Eur. J. Biochem. 246, 103–111). Studies presented here indicate that abc1/coq8 null mutants are defective in Q biosynthesis and accumulate 3-hexaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid as the predominant intermediate. As observed in other yeast coq mutants, supplementation of growth media with Q6 rescues theabc1/coq8 null mutants for growth on nonfermentable carbon sources. Such supplementation also partially restores succinate-cytochrome c reductase activity in theabc1/coq8 null mutants. Abc1/Coq8p localizes to the mitochondria, and is proteolytically processed upon import. The findings presented here indicate that the previously reported thermosensitivity of the respiratory complexes of abc1/coq8mutants results from the lack of Q and a general deficiency in respiration, rather than a specific phenotype due to dysfunction of the Abc1 polypeptide. These results indicate that ABC1/COQ8 is essential for Q-biosynthesis and that the critical defect ofabc1/coq8 mutants is a lack of Q.

Abstract.Rosso and Green have shown how to embed the positive part Uq() of a quantum enveloping algebra Uq() in a quantum shuffle algebra. In this paper we study some properties of the image of the dual canonical basis B* of Uq() under this embedding Φ. This is motivated by the fact that when is of type Ar, the elements of Φ(B*) are q-analogues of irreducible characters of the affine Iwahori-Hecke algebras attached to the groups GL(m) over a p-adic field.

The main purpose of this paper is to present a systemic study of some families of multiple $q$-Euler numbers and polynomials. In particular, by using the $q$-Volkenborn integration on $\Bbb Z_p$, we construct $p$-adic $q$-Euler numbers and polynomials of higher order. We also define new generating functions of multiple $q$-Euler numbers and polynomials. Furthermore, we construct Euler $q$-Zeta function. This paper is the version of the preprint of my paper to publish in the special issues as the preprint part of this proceedings.

Abstract We introduce the q,k-generalized Pochhammer symbol. We construct Γ q,k and B q,k , the q,k-generalized gamma and beta functions, and show that they satisfy properties that generalize those satisfied by the classical gamma and beta functions. Moreover, we provide integral representations for Γ q,k and B q,k .
