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.

commentFUNCTION Acts downstream of PI3 kinase age-1 and kinase pdk-1 in the daf-2/insulin receptor-like transduction pathway (PubMed:10364160, PubMed:11381260, PubMed:11747825, PubMed:15068796, PubMed:18782349, PubMed:22916022, PubMed:9716402). Essential role in regulating developmental arrest at the dauer stage (PubMed:10364160). Phosphorylates Forkhead-related daf-16 and the longevity-promoting skn-1 transcription factors, which inhibits their entry into the nucleus and antagonizes their functions (PubMed:11381260, PubMed:11747825, PubMed:15068796, PubMed:18358814). Role in immune function and pathogen resistance (PubMed:18782349). Downstream of age-1 and together with akt-1 and sgk-1, promotes cell survival during embryonic development (PubMed:25383666). Plays a role in maintaining the gonadal basement membrane through antagonizing akt-1 activity (PubMed:22916022).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-seryl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-seryl-[protein] + ADP + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-threonyl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-threonyl-[protein] + ADP + H(+)COFACTOR Phosphorylated and activated by pdk-1.SUBUNIT Interacts with pdk-1, sgk-1, akt-1 and daf-16. Part of a complex containing sgk-1, akt-1 and akt-2.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in neurons, muscle cells of the pharynx, rectal gland cells, and spermatheca.DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expressed in late stage embryos and throughout life.DOMAIN The PH domain binds to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) resulting in its targeting to the plasma membrane.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Defective egg-laying and increased resistance to pathogens. Simultaneous knockdown of akt-1 and akt-2 result in dauer formation and a weak extension to life span.SIMILARITY Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAC subfamily.
