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 ATP-dependent RNA helicase that plays a role in various aspects of RNA metabolism including the regulation of mRNA export and the levels of pre-ribosomal RNA. Regulates the stability and synthesis of pre-ribosomal RNA and thereby regulates cell proliferation (PubMed:29618122). Also possesses antiviral activity by recognizing gammaherpesvirus transcripts in the context of lytic reactivation (PubMed:36298642).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate + H(+)SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX49/DBP8 subfamily.
