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 GTP hydrolase that promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. Participates in mitochondrial translation (By similarity). Also plays a role in the regulation of autophagy and innate immunity (PubMed:22749352, PubMed:28407488). Recruits ATG5-ATG12 and NLRX1 at mitochondria and serves as a checkpoint of the RIGI-MAVS pathway (PubMed:28407488). In turn, inhibits RLR-mediated type I interferon while promoting autophagy (PubMed:22749352).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY GTP + H2O = GDP + phosphate + H(+)PATHWAY Protein biosynthesis; polypeptide chain elongation.SUBUNIT Interacts with NLRX1 (PubMed:22749352). Interacts with ATG16L1 (PubMed:22749352).SUBUNIT (Microbial infection) Interacts with human parainfluenza virus 3 matrix protein; this interaction inhibits RLR-mediated type I interferon production while promoting autophagy.SUBUNIT (Microbial infection) Interacts with Hantaan hantavirus glycoprotein N; this interaction contributes to the virus-induced degradation of mitochondria by autophagy, which leads to degradation of MAVS and inhibition of type I interferon (IFN) responses.INTERACTION The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. EF-Tu/EF-1A subfamily.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
