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 DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates (PubMed:20413673, PubMed:33558764, PubMed:33558766, PubMed:34675218, PubMed:35637192). Specific peripheric component of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) which synthesizes small non-coding RNAs including 5S rRNA, snRNAs, tRNAs and miRNAs from at least 500 distinct genomic loci (PubMed:20413673, PubMed:33558764, PubMed:33558766, PubMed:35637192). Part of POLR3C/RPC3-POLR3F/RPC6-POLR3G/RPC7 heterotrimer, coordinates the dynamics of Pol III stalk and clamp modules during the transition from apo to elongation state (PubMed:33558764, PubMed:33558766). Pol III plays a key role in sensing and limiting infection by intracellular bacteria and DNA viruses. Acts as a nuclear and cytosolic DNA sensor involved in innate immune response. Can sense non-self dsDNA that serves as template for transcription into dsRNA. The non-self RNA polymerase III transcripts, such as Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNAs (EBERs) induce type I interferon and NF-kappa-B through the RIG-I pathway (PubMed:19609254, PubMed:19631370). Preferentially binds single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in a sequence-independent manner (PubMed:21358628).SUBUNIT Component of the RNA polymerase III complex consisting of 17 subunits: a ten-subunit horseshoe-shaped catalytic core composed of POLR3A/RPC1, POLR3B/RPC2, POLR1C/RPAC1, POLR1D/RPAC2, POLR3K/RPC10, POLR2E/RPABC1, POLR2F/RPABC2, POLR2H/RPABC3, POLR2K/RPABC4 and POLR2L/RPABC5; a mobile stalk composed of two subunits POLR3H/RPC8 and CRCP/RPC9, protruding from the core and functioning primarily in transcription initiation; and additional subunits homologous to general transcription factors of the RNA polymerase II machinery, POLR3C/RPC3-POLR3F/RPC6-POLR3G/RPC7 heterotrimer required for transcription initiation and POLR3D/RPC4-POLR3E/RPC5 heterodimer involved in both transcription initiation and termination (PubMed:12391170, PubMed:33335104, PubMed:33558764, PubMed:33558766, PubMed:33674783, PubMed:34675218, PubMed:35637192, PubMed:9171375). Directly interacts with POLR3G/RPC7 and POLR3GL (PubMed:21358628, PubMed:24107381, PubMed:26394183). Directly interacts with POLR3F/RPC6 (PubMed:26394183). Interacts with GTF3C4 (PubMed:10523658). As part of the RNA polymerase III complex, interacts with PKP2 (PubMed:11416169).INTERACTION Antibodies against POLR3C have been found in the sera of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).SIMILARITY Belongs to the eukaryotic RPC3/POLR3C RNA polymerase subunit family.
