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 Histone methyltransferase that dimethylates histone H3 at 'Arg-17', forming asymmetric dimethylarginine (H3R17me2a), leading to activate transcription via chromatin remodeling (PubMed:28930672). Maternal factor involved in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming of the paternal genome in the zygote: mediates H3R17me2a, promoting histone H3.3 incorporation in the male pronucleus, leading to TET3 recruitment and subsequent DNA demethylation (PubMed:28930672).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-arginyl-[protein] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = N(omega),N(omega)-dimethyl-L-arginyl-[protein] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2 H(+)SUBUNIT Interacts with HSPA5, HSP90B1, TUBULIN, UGGT1 and UGGT2 (By similarity). Interacts with TET3 (PubMed:28930672). Interacts with STPG4 (PubMed:28930672).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Localizes in male and female zygote pronucleus and cytoplasm.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Ubiquitously expressed.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Mice give birth to significantly smaller litter sizes (PubMed:28930672). Moreover, about a third of the homozygous newborn mice die before weaning and only a few survive to adulthood (PubMed:28930672). Strongly reduced 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) levels in zygotes (PubMed:28930672).SIMILARITY Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. METTL23 family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
