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 Endoplasmic reticulum-anchored protein that mediates the formation of contact sites between the endoplasmic (ER) and endosomes, mitochondria or Golgi through interaction with conventional- and phosphorylated-FFAT-containing organelle-bound proteins (PubMed:29858488, PubMed:33124732, PubMed:35389430). In addition, forms endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-lipid droplets (LDs) contacts through a direct protein-membrane interaction and participates in LDs homeostasis (PubMed:35389430). The attachment mechanism involves an amphipathic helix that has an affinity for lipid packing defects present at the surface of LDs (PubMed:35389430). Promotes migration of primary monocytes and neutrophils, in response to various chemokines (PubMed:28137892).SUBUNIT Homooligomer (PubMed:33124732). Interacts (via MSP domain) with STARD3NL (via FFAT motif), RMDN3 (via FFAT motif), OSBPL1A (via FFAT motif) and CERT1 (via FFAT motif) (PubMed:29858488, PubMed:33124732). Interacts (via MSP domain) with STARD3 (via phosphorylated FFAT motif); this interaction depends on the critical phosphorylation of STARD3 on 'Ser-209' (PubMed:29858488, PubMed:33124732). Interacts with RB1CC1 (via phosphorylated FFAT motif), MIGA2 (via phosphorylated FFAT motif) and OSBPL1A (via FFAT motif) (PubMed:33124732).INTERACTION Localization to contact sites involving the endoplasmic reticulum and several organelles is regulated by interaction with proteins containing FFAT motif (PubMed:29858488). Dynamically distributes between specific subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER): ER membranes in contact with lipid droplets (LDs) and the remainder of the ER (PubMed:35389430).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Highly expressed in CD14(+) monocytes, and at lower levels in neutrophils. Does not show significant expression in B-cells or T-cells.DOMAIN The MSP domain is required for binding to the FFAT motif of target proteins.DOMAIN The CRAL-TRIO domain is necessary for the recruitment to lipid droplets (LDs) and mediates the formation of ER-LDs contacts through an amphipathic helix.DOMAIN The transmembrane domain is necessary for binding to LDs.
