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.

AKT1 phosphorylates AKT1S1 (PRAS40, Proline Rich Akt Substrate 40 kDa) at Thr-246 (Kovacina et al. 2003; Sancak et al. 2007; Oshiro et al. 2007; Vander Haar et al. 2007; Wang et al. 2008; Mi et al. 2015). AKT1S1 is an inhibitory accessory protein of mTORC1. Phosphorylation of AKT1S1 by AKT releases the inhibition of mTORC1.

Mice engineered to express AKT1S1 T246A mutant in the basal keratinocytes of epidermis are resistant to epidermal tumorigenesis induced by the treatment with the tumor promoter TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate) and show persistent association of AKT1S1 T246A with the mTORC1 complex, even under mTOR signaling activating conditions (Rho et al. 2016).

AKT2 also phosphorylates AKT1S1 (Kovacina et al. 2003; Quambusch et al. 2021), as does AKT3 (Madhunapantula et al. 2007; Sun et al. 2020).
