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.

textHuman apo opsin proteins covalently bind the chromophore 11-cis-retinal (11cRAL) via a Schiff base linkage to a lysine residue in the seventh transmembrane alpha helix that is conserved in all known opsins (see review Shichida & Matsuyama 2009). The Schiff base linkage effectively results in an 11-cis-retinyl (11c-retinyl) group covalently linking to a lysine residue of opsins with subsequent loss of water. The three human cone opsins are Long Wavelength Sensitive Opsin (OPN1LW), Short Wavelength Sensitive Opsin (OPN1SW) and Middle Wavelength Sensitive Opsin (OPN1MW), sensing red, blue and green regions of the light spectrum, respectively (Nathans et al. 1986, Nathans et al. 1986b, Oprian et al. 1991).
