We chose this gene because it plays a critical role in the fermentation of alcohol, a process that has given humans a commodity of great value throughout history and civilization!
Standard Name: | Alcohol Dehydrogenase I |
Systematic Name: | YOL086C |
Name Description: | Alcohol DeHydrogenase: fermentative isozyme active as homo-or hereotetramers; required for the reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol, the last step in the glycolytic pathway; also has methylglyoxal reductase activity, and is involved in NADH oxidation and the production of alcohol from amino acid breakdown via the Ehrlich pathway; ADH1 has a paralog, ADH5, that arose from the whole genome duplication.(from SGD) |

The content on each site was in harmony with each other, in fact, some of the sites even referenced the others. All four websites (SGD, NCBI, UniProt, and Ensembl) provide information such as the gene name, a short summary of the gene, and the genetic sequence. NCBI listed articles related to my search topic (ADH1) in PubMed, articles that referenced its function, and a list of pathways from BioSystems. The UniProt website focused on the specifics of the gene for example the nucleotide bindings and binding sites and a description of what they are. Ensembl and SGD provided the most information, including information on the sequence, the protein, the gene ontology, a short summary and more. The presentation of this information differed slightly in that SGD expressed the DNA and Protein sequences separately while Ensembl provided the DNA sequence and underneath it the protein sequence that corresponded to its specific sequence of DNA. Some websites showed the location of the gene on the chromosome by just giving the number location while other websites showed a diagram of the chromosome and ADHI on the chromosome with its neighboring genes. The differences in the websites allowed for a useful combination of them all in order to acquire the most information about the gene.
John Lopez | I worked with my partner Dina Bashoura in class. We decided on our gene and decided how we wanted this organized. On Sunday we FaceTimed to construct the website, where we finished most of it. On Monday we met to finalize everything and submitted. For the project, I worked on constructing the site, while Dina did the research. While I worked with the people noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source. |

Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH1) is a protein coding gene which catalyzes the conversion of primary unbranched alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes (UniProt). It is a fermentative isozyme, meaning that it is one of two enzymes which both have identical functions but differ slightly in structure. ADH1 specifically is active as homo-or heterotetramers. It is a part of the protein family containing of 4 total genes, ADH1, ADH2, ADH3, and ADH5. The latter of the 4 is the paralog to ADH1 and arose from the whole genome duplication (Ensembl). ADH1 reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol during glucose fermentation. It is also involved in the production of fusel alcohols during fermentation, which are end products of amino acid catabolism. This contributes to the overall flavor and aroma of yeast-fermented foods and beverages (SGD).
