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 Actin-binding protein involved in motile and morphological processes. Inhibits actin polymerization, likely by sequestering G-actin. By capping the barbed ends of filaments, it also regulates motility. Seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles.SUBUNIT Interacts with G-actin; ADP-actin form and capping protein (CP) (PubMed:12807912, PubMed:15282541, PubMed:16511569). May also be able to interact with TWF2 and phosphoinositides, PI(4,5)P2 (PubMed:12807912). When bound to PI(4,5)P2, it is down-regulated (PubMed:12807912). Interacts with ACTG1 (By similarity).INTERACTION Diffuse cytoplasmic localization with perinuclear and G-actin-rich cortical actin structures sublocalization. Also found at membrane ruffles and cell-cell contacts.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Widely expressed with highest levels in brain, liver and kidney. Also expressed in heart, lung and testis. Not detected in spleen or skeletal muscle.DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expression was widespread throughout the embryonic stages analyzed; 10.5 dpc, 12.5 dpc, 14.5 dpc and 18.5 dpc. At 14.5 dpc, strongest expression was observed in the developing central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS, respectively) and in the olfactory sensory epithelium. In the CNS, the proliferating neuronal precursors in the ventricular zone expressed it more than the postmitotic neurons. At 18.5 dpc, highest expression levels were detected in the mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear and in the differentiated keratinocytes of the skin.PTM Phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues.SIMILARITY Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family. Twinfilin subfamily.ONLINE INFORMATION Molecular embrace - Issue 73 of August 2006
