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 Binds to and activates protein kinase PAK1 (PubMed:11459829). Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion assembly during cell migration (PubMed:11459829, PubMed:17620058, PubMed:18086875, PubMed:21834987). Also stimulates quiescent cells to reenter the cell cycle (PubMed:11459829). Has no detectable GTPase activity but its high intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity suggests it is constitutively GTP-bound (PubMed:16472646).COFACTOR Interacts with PAK1 (PubMed:26598620). Interacts with PAK3 (PubMed:17620058). Interacts with ARHGAP30 in a GTP-independent manner. In its GTP-loaded conformation, interacts with ARHGAP31 (PubMed:21565175). Interacts with PTK2B/PYK2 (PubMed:18086875). Interacts with PAK4; the interaction is PAK4 kinase activity-independent and protects RHOU from ubiquitination (PubMed:26598620).INTERACTION Localizes to podosomes in SRC-transformed cells.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Ubiquitously expressed in all tissues examined. Expressed at high levels in the stomach, small intestine, brain, skeletal muscle and placenta.PTM Ubiquitinated. 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination at Lys-177 and Lys-248 by the ECS(RAB40A) complex leading to its degradation.PTM Tyrosine phosphorylated by SRC in response to PTK2B/PYK2 activation.SIMILARITY Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.
