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.

textUNG, a DNA uracil glycosylase, excises the uracil base generated when a DNA damaging agent deaminates cytosine (creating a U:G base pair) or when dUMP is misincorporated during DNA synthesis (creating a U:A base pair). UNG scans the DNA for damage by kinking and compressing the DNA phosphate backbone with a serine-proline pinch, which causes uracil to flip out at the phosphate-sugar junction into the recognition pocket of the UNG. The subsequent excision of uracil creates an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site in the DNA (Parikh et al. 1998).
