Contains Zn2+. The enzyme catalyses the oxidation of (6E)-8-hydroxygeraniol to (6E)-8-oxogeranial via either (6E)-8-hydroxygeranial or (6E)-8-oxogeraniol. Also acts on geraniol, nerol and citronellol. May be identical to EC 1.1.1.183 geraniol dehydrogenase. The recommended numbering of geraniol gives 8-hydroxygeraniol as the substrate rather than 10-hydroxygeraniol as used by references 1 and 2. See prenol nomenclature Pr-1.

(6E)-8-hydroxygeraniol:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Contains Zn2+. The enzyme catalyses the oxidation of (6E)-8-hydroxygeraniol to (6E)-8-oxogeranial via either (6E)-8-hydroxygeranial or (6E)-8-oxogeraniol. Also acts on geraniol, nerol and citronellol. May be identical to EC 1.1.1.183 geraniol dehydrogenase. The recommended numbering of geraniol gives 8-hydroxygeraniol as the substrate rather than 10-hydroxygeraniol as used by references 1 and 2. See prenol nomenclature {iupac/misc/prenol#p1::Pr-1}.
Substrates: various branched-chain allylic primary alcohols, such as nerol, geraniol, and 8-hydroxygeraniol, are substrates, but ethanol is inert. The enzyme is also active with farnesol, 3-methyl-2-buten1-ol, citronellol, 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol, trans-2-heptenol, and trans-2-hexenol. The enzyme exclusively transfers the pro-R hydrogen of NADPH to neral. No activity with linalool, 2,6-dimethyl-octane, iridodial, 1-octanol, 1-heptanol, 1-pentanol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, trans-crotyl alcohol, isopulegol, and menthol Products: -
Substrates: 10-hydroxygeraniol undergoes a reversible dehydrogenation to produce 8-oxogeraniol or 8-hydroxygeranial, which are oxidized further to give 8-oxogeranial, the direct precursor of iridodial Products: -

steady-state kinetic studies show that the nerol dehydrogenation proceeds by an ordered Bi-Bi mechanism, NADP+ binds the enzyme first and then NADPH is the second product released from it, kinetic mechanism, overview
the acyclic monoterpene primary alcohol:NADP+ oxidoreductase of Rauwolfia serpentina is a key enzyme in biosynthesis of monoterpene alcohols in the plant

EXPRESSION
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
the enzyme expression is activated by transcription factor BIS3, i.e. BHLH iridoid synthesis 3, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor and key regulators of plant specialized metabolites, including terpenoid indole alkaloids, in Catharanthus roseus plants. BIS3 is clustered with BIS2 and BIS1 in a bHLH gene cluster. Similar to the iridoid pathway genes, BIS3 is highly expressed in roots and induced by methyl jasmonate. Transactivation of the promoters is abolished when BIS3 is converted to a dominant repressor by fusing with the ERF-associated amphiphilic repression (EAR) sequence (BIS3-SRDX)
