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 Regulator of sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis which negatively regulates cohesin association with chromatin (PubMed:26299517). Involved in both sister chromatid cohesion during interphase and sister-chromatid resolution during early stages of mitosis. Couples DNA replication to sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesion ensures that chromosome partitioning is accurate in both meiotic and mitotic cells and plays an important role in DNA repair.SUBUNIT Interacts with the cohesin complex throughout the cell cycle; interacts with both chromatin-bound and soluble pools of the complex. Interacts with RAD21; the interaction is direct. Interacts with PDS5A; the interaction is direct, cohesin-dependent and competitive with CDCA5/SORORIN. Interacts (via FGF motifs) with PDS5B; the interaction is direct. Interacts with a SMC1 protein (SMC1A or SMC1B) and SMC3.SUBUNIT (Microbial infection) Isoform 2 interacts with Epstein-Barr virus EBNA2.INTERACTION Associates with chromatin through the cohesin complex during interphase. Released in the cytoplasm from nuclear envelope breakdown until anaphase, it reaccumulates in nucleus at telophase.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Isoform 1 is highly expressed in uterine cervix tumor. Isoform 2 is widely expressed with a high level in skeletal muscle and heart.PTM Deubiquitinated by USP37; leading to stabilization.SIMILARITY Belongs to the WAPL family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Extended N-terminus.
