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 as an inhibitor of the small GTPase RHOA and plays several roles in the regulation of myoblast and hair cell differentiation, lymphocyte T proliferation and neutrophil polarization (PubMed:25588844, PubMed:27269051). Plays a role in fetal mononuclear myoblast differentiation by promoting filopodia and myotube formation (PubMed:17150207). Maintains naive T lymphocytes in a quiescent state and prevents chemokine-induced T lymphocyte responses, such as cell adhesion, polarization and migration (By similarity). Involved also in the regulation of neutrophil polarization, chemotaxis and adhesion (PubMed:25588844). Required for normal development of inner and outer hair cell stereocilia within the cochlea of the inner ear (PubMed:27269051). Plays a role for maintaining the structural organization of the basal domain of stereocilia (PubMed:27269051). Involved in mechanosensory hair cell function (PubMed:27269051). Required for normal hearing (PubMed:27269051).SUBUNIT Homooligomer; homooligomerization is regulated by RHOC and leads to the formation of concatemers through the association of N- and C-termini (PubMed:27269051, PubMed:32631815). Interacts (phosphorylated form) with 14-3-3 proteins; these interactions occur during myogenic cell differentiation and also induces T cell proliferation arrest (By similarity). Interacts (phosphorylated form) with HDAC6; this interaction occurs during early myogenic differentiation, prevents HDAC6 to deacetylate tubulin and also induces T cell proliferation arrest (By similarity). Interacts with DYSF; this interaction occurs during early myogenic differentiation (PubMed:24687993). Interacts with MYOF (By similarity). Interacts (via active GTP- or inactive GDP-bound forms) with RHOA; this interaction is direct, blocks the loading of GTP to RHOA and decreases upon chemokine CCL19 stimulation in primary T lymphocytes (PubMed:27269051). Interacts with RHOC (PubMed:27269051, PubMed:32631815). Interacts (via phosphorylated form) with YWHAB; this interaction occurs in a chemokine-dependent manner and does not compete for binding of RIPOR2 with RHOA nor blocks inhibition of RIPOR2-mediated RHOA activity (By similarity). Interacts with YWHAE (By similarity). Interacts with YWHAQ (By similarity).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Localized in the cytoplasm in cells undergoing mitosis (By similarity). Colocalized with F-actin (By similarity). Accumulates at the leading edge of polarized neutrophils in a chemokine-dependent manner (By similarity). Localized with RHOC within the basal domain of hair cell stereocilia, near the taper region (PubMed:27269051). Detected in punctate pattern forming a circumferential ring at the stereocilia base (PubMed:27269051). Localized to the apical stereocilia of inner and outer hair cells (By similarity). Not detected as a membrane-associated protein in stereocilia (PubMed:27269051).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in the cochlea (PubMed:24958875, PubMed:32631815). Expressed in inner hair cells and outer hair cells and Hensen's cells (at protein level) (PubMed:27269051, PubMed:32631815). Expressed in the brain, cerebellum, spinal cord, retina, heart, spleen liver, kidney, bladder, muscle and lung (PubMed:24958875, PubMed:27269051). Expressed in the cochlea of the inner ear (PubMed:24958875, PubMed:27269051).INDUCTION Up-regulated during regenerating muscle tissue.PTM Phosphorylated. Chemokine-induced phosphorylation in neutrophils occurs in a PKC- and AKT-dependent manner, resulting in RIPOR2 interaction with YWHAB and stabilization. Phosphorylated by PKCA, AKT1 and MAPKAPK1A; in vitro.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Mice are deaf at 4 weeks of age (PubMed:27269051). Show abnormal hair bundle morphology and polarity and stereociliary growth in the cochlea of the inner ear (PubMed:27269051). Display mislocalization of protein TPRN to the base of stereocilia (PubMed:27269051). Show reduced mechanotransduction currents in hair bundles of outer hair cells (PubMed:27269051). Mice show impaired neutrophil chemotaxis, increased neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cell and reduced neutrophil infiltration into inflamed peritonea (PubMed:25588844). Display increased chemokine-induced RHOA activity and mislocalization of myosin light chain MYL2 in neutrophils (PubMed:25588844).SIMILARITY Belongs to the RIPOR family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Extended N-terminus.
