Summary: Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of protein modification process. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Is expressed widely. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 9 and primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency 8. Orthologous to human COQ7 (coenzyme Q7, hydroxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Elevated mitochondrial DNA copy number found in ubiquinone-deficient clk-1 mutants is not rescued by ubiquinone precursor 2-4-dihydroxybenzoate.
Title: Elevated mitochondrial DNA copy number found in ubiquinone-deficient clk-1 mutants is not rescued by ubiquinone precursor 2-4-dihydroxybenzoate.
Loss of ubiquinone biosynthesis is responsible for all phenotypes resulting from loss of CLK-1, including behavioral phenotypes, altered expression of mitochondrial quality control genes, and lifespan.
Title: A single biochemical activity underlies the pleiotropy of the aging-related protein CLK-1.
Nuclear CLK-1 mediates a retrograde signalling pathway that is conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to humans and is responsive to mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, thus acting as a barometer of oxidative metabolism.
Title: A nuclear role for the respiratory enzyme CLK-1 in regulating mitochondrial stress responses and longevity.
no measurable intrinsic ETC defect exists in clk-1 mitochondria. The data indicate that DMQ(9) specifically inhibits electron transfer from complex I to ubiquinone.
Title: The role of DMQ(9) in the long-lived mutant clk-1.
action of clioquinol on several age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases with distinct etiologies might result from a slowing down of the aging process through action of the drug on CLK-1.

Suppressors of the missense mutation of clk-1 were identified; each mutant suppresses a different subset of phenotypes.
Title: Uncoupling the pleiotropic phenotypes of clk-1 with tRNA missense suppressors in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Prolonged life span of Clk mutants cannot be attributed to reduced metabolic rate or an increased activity of the major antioxidant enzymes catalase and SOD.
Title: No reduction of energy metabolism in Clk mutants.
