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.

textThe activity of guanylyl cyclases is regulated by Ca2+-binding, guanylyl cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs). This regulation is the most important negative feedback mechanism triggered by Ca2+ in light. There are three GCAPs in humans; GUCA1A (Subbaraya et al. 1994), GUCA1B (Surguchov et al. 1997) and GUCA1C (Haeseleer et al. 1999). In darkness, when intracellular Ca2+ is relatively high, GCAPs suppress guanylate cyclase activity. But the light-induced fall in Ca2+ prompts Ca2+ to dissociate from GCAPs and be replaced by Mg2+, allowing the GCAPs to stimulate guanylate cyclase activity by an order of magnitude. Different GCAPs have different affinities for Ca2+. Defects in GCAP1 give rise to cone dystrophy and Lebers congenital amaurosis (https://sph.uth.edu/retnet/).
