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 Has omega-amidase activity (PubMed:19595734, PubMed:22674578). The role of omega-amidase is to remove potentially toxic intermediates by converting 2-oxoglutaramate and 2-oxosuccinamate to biologically useful 2-oxoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively (PubMed:19595734).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY a monoamide of a dicarboxylate + H2O = a dicarboxylate + NH4(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 2-oxoglutaramate + H2O = 2-oxoglutarate + NH4(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 2-oxosuccinamate + H2O = oxaloacetate + NH4(+)BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES In solution, 2-oxoglutaramate is in equilibrium with a cyclic form (2-hydroxy-5-oxoproline), and at pH 8.0 or above, the rate of ring opening is no longer limiting for the omega-amidase reaction (PubMed:19595734, PubMed:22674578). The kinetic constants are determined for the recombinant His6-tagged protein (PubMed:22674578).SUBUNIT Homodimer.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Detected in fetal brain (at protein level). Ubiquitous. Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, prostate, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon.MASS SPECTROMETRY Belongs to the carbon-nitrogen hydrolase superfamily. NIT1/NIT2 family.
