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 Interferon (IFN)-inducible GTPase that plays important roles in innate immunity against a diverse range of bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens (PubMed:31091448). Hydrolyzes GTP to GMP in 2 consecutive cleavage reactions, but the major reaction product is GDP (PubMed:8706832). Following infection, recruited to the pathogen-containing vacuoles or vacuole-escaped bacteria and acts as a positive regulator of inflammasome assembly by promoting the release of inflammasome ligands from bacteria (By similarity). Acts by promoting lysis of pathogen-containing vacuoles, releasing pathogens into the cytosol (By similarity). Following pathogen release in the cytosol, promotes recruitment of proteins that mediate bacterial cytolysis: this liberates ligands that are detected by inflammasomes, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that activates the non-canonical CASP4/CASP11 inflammasome or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that activates the AIM2 inflammasome (By similarity). Confers protection to the protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii (By similarity). Independently of its GTPase activity, acts as an inhibitor of various viruses infectivity, such as HIV-1, Zika and influenza A viruses, by inhibiting FURIN-mediated maturation of viral envelope proteins (PubMed:31091448).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY GTP + H2O = GDP + phosphate + H(+)BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Homodimer; homodimerization occurs upon GTP-binding and is required for the association with membranous structures (PubMed:21151871). Heterodimer with other family members, including GBP1, GBP3, GBP4 and GBP5 (PubMed:21151871).INTERACTION GBP2-GBP5 dimers localize to the Golgi apparatus.INDUCTION By IFNG/IFN-gamma during macrophage activation, and by TNF and IL1B.PTM (Microbial infection) Ubiquitinated by S.flexneri IpaH9.8, leading to its degradation by the proteasome, thereby preventing its ability to promote host defense against bacterial infection.PTM Isoprenylation is required for proper subcellular location.SIMILARITY Belongs to the TRAFAC class dynamin-like GTPase superfamily. GB1/RHD3 GTPase family. GB1 subfamily.
