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.

textATP-citrate lyase (ACL) catalyzes the ATP- and CoA-dependent cleavage of citrate to form acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate. In the plant cell cytosol, acetyl-CoA generated in this reaction acts as precursor for the biosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids and many secondary metabolites including flavonoids and terpenoids. In vertebrates, acetyl-CoA generated from citrate feeds into de novo fatty acid biosynthesis and cholesterol biosynthesis.

In Arabidopsis, ACL is a heterooctomer of two subunits, ACLA and ACLB. The ACLA subunit is encoded by three genes, and the ACLB subunit is encoded by two genes. The enzyme activity of Arabidopsis ACL was confirmed by heterologous expressing of ACLA-1 and ACLB-2 in yeast where the activity was detected only in the strain co-expressing the two subunits, not in strains expressing the subunits individually.
