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.

textTyrosine-phosphorylated VAVs act as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for RAC1, catalysing the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. RAC1 is a key regulator for actin cytoskeleton and cell migration and is also a critical component of endothelial NADPH oxidase (Wittmann et al. 2003, Tan et al. 2008, Ushio–Fukai 2007, Pricei et al. 2002). Activated RAC1 then stimulates actin polymerization to form lamellipodia through a number of proteins such as WASP-family veroprilin homologous protein (WAV). WAVE proteins stimulate the formation of a branched actin network by binding to the p21 subunit of the ARP2/3 nucleating complex, which is located on the sides of the pre-existing filaments.
