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 Receptor for IZUMO1 present at the cell surface of oocytes (oolemma), which is essential for species-specific gamete recognition and fertilization. The IZUMO1:IZUMO1R/JUNO interaction is a necessary adhesion event between sperm and egg that is required for fertilization but is not sufficient for cell fusion (PubMed:30517645). The ligand-receptor interaction probably does not act as a membrane 'fusogen'. Does not bind folate.SUBUNIT Monomer (PubMed:27309808). Interacts with IZUMO1; the interaction is direct. IZUMO1 and IZUMO1R/JUNO form a complex with 1:1 stoichiometry (PubMed:24739963, PubMed:27309808, PubMed:27309818, PubMed:30517645). Interacts with FCRL3/MAIA; FCRL3/MAIA replaces IZUMO1R/JUNO as IZUMO1 receptor after sperm-egg adhesion, thereby permitting species-specific gamete fusion (PubMed:36070373). Interacts with WDR54 (By similarity).INTERACTION GPI-anchored at the oolemma microvilli.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in unfertilized oocytes (at protein level).PTM The protein is rapidly cleaved following fertilization, being only weakly detectable in zona-intact fertilized eggs at telophase II and undetectable at the pronuclear stage. Sheding is probably required to block to polyspermy and ensuring egg fusion with a single sperm.MISCELLANEOUS Gene prediction based on similarity to orthologs.SIMILARITY Belongs to the folate receptor family.
