Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Involved in lignin biosynthesis (PubMed:16443696, PubMed:21912859). Catalyzes the final step specific for the production of lignin monomers. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of coniferaldehyde and sinapaldehyde to their respective alcohols (PubMed:16443696). Plays the major role in monolignol biosynthesis. Functions cooperatively with COMT in the culm internodes for the biosynthesis of monolignols, the lignin precursors. May be involved in lignin biosynthesis in leaves and roots (PubMed:21912859).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (E)-cinnamyl alcohol + NADP(+) = (E)-cinnamaldehyde + NADPH + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (E)-coniferol + NADP(+) = (E)-coniferaldehyde + NADPH + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (E)-sinapyl alcohol + NADP(+) = (E)-sinapaldehyde + NADPH + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (E)-4-coumaroyl alcohol + NADP(+) = (E)-4-coumaraldehyde + NADPH + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (E)-caffeyl alcohol + NADP(+) = (E)-caffeyl aldehyde + NADPH + H(+)COFACTOR Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Aromatic compound metabolism; phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.SUBUNIT Homodimer.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Expressed in roots behind the root tips in the pericycle region and layer of cortical cells adjacent to the exodermis. Expressed in vascular bundles and lateral veins of leaf sheaths and blades. Expressed in the vicinity of vascular bundles in the first internode below the inflorescence (PubMed:15452707, PubMed:16443696). Highly expressed in the culm (PubMed:21912859).DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Reduced lignin content, reddish-brown coloration of panicles and internodes, and golden yellow seeds.SIMILARITY Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family.
