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.

textPhagosomal myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an important heme enzyme released by activated leukocytes (Klebanoff SJ & Rosen H 1978; Austin GE et al. 1994; Klebanoff S 2013). MPO protein has little bactericidal effect per se, but the enzyme-generated products are chemical oxidants that have potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties (Pattison DI et al. 2012). Ferric MPO enzyme cycles through redox intermediates that undergo a complex array of reactions. Initial oxidation of the resting iron (III) form of the enzyme by hydrogen peroxide gives rise to a primary catalytic complex, known as Compound I (Winterbourn CC et al 2006; Davies MJ 2011; Pattison DI et al. 2012). Compound I can then undergo either two electron reduction with halide or pseudo-halide ions to form hypohalous acids (HOX where X = Cl, Br, SCN) or undergo two successive one-electron reductions, via Compound II, with consequent radical formation (the peroxidase cycle) (Winterbourn CC et al 2006; Davies MJ 2011). Due to the high reduction potentials of the Compound I and II, MPO can oxidize a variety of substrates. Chloride ion is one of the physiological substrate of MPO. Cl- undergoes a two-electron oxidation to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) (Winterbourn CC et al 2006; Davies MJ 2001; Pattison DI et al. 2012). Studies using specific probes or biomarkers such as 3-chlorotyrosine showed that MPO reacts with H2O2 and chloride present in the phagosome to produce HOCl, and that the HOCl reacts with ingested bacteria (Jiang Q et al. 1997; Palazzolo AM et al. 2005; Kenmoku S et al. 2007; Chapman AL et al. 2002; Albrett AM et al. 2018; Degrossoli A et al. 2018). Furthermore, rapid killing of numerous organisms by isolated neutrophils has been shown to require MPO (Klebanoff SJ et al. 2013; Green JN et al. 2017). HOCl reacts readily with a range of biological molecules to form potently microbicidal products such as chloramines (Green JN et al. 2017). HOCl reacts with ROS forming toxic hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen, however the specific role of HOCl in the microbial killing remains unclear. Modelling studies indicated that phagosomal proteins could scavenge much of the HOCl before it reaches the microbe thus limiting its ability to kill (Winterbourn CC et al. 2006).
