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 Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). It can promote the assembly of monomers into filaments (nucleation) as well as sever filaments already formed (PubMed:19666512). Plays a role in ciliogenesis (PubMed:20393563).SUBUNIT Binds to actin and to fibronectin. Identified in a complex composed of ACTA1, COBL, GSN and TMSB4X. Interacts with the inactive form of EIF2AK2/PKR (By similarity). Interacts with FLII (By similarity).INTERACTION Phagocytic cells, platelets, fibroblasts, nonmuscle cells, smooth and skeletal muscle cells.DOMAIN Comprises six structurally related gelsolin-like (G1-G6) domains, that, in a calcium-free environment, are packed together to form a compact globular structure in which the putative actin-binding sequences are not sufficiently exposed to enable binding to occur (PubMed:19666512). Binding calcium may release the connections that join the N- and C-terminal halves of gelsolin, enabling each half to bind actin relatively independently (PubMed:12460571, PubMed:19666512). G1 and G4 bind two Ca(2+) in a type I and in a type II manner (PubMed:12460571, PubMed:19666512). G2, G3, G5 and G6 bind only one Ca(2+) in a type II manner (PubMed:12460571, PubMed:19666512). Type I Ca(2+) binding sites are shared between actin and gelsolin-like repeats G1 and G4 (PubMed:12460571, PubMed:19666512). Type I binding governs the strength of interactions between gelsolin and actin by direct participation at the binding interface (PubMed:12460571, PubMed:19666512). Ca(2+) binding to G2 and G6 disrupts the interactions between G2 and G6, releases the C-terminal tail, and induces large interdomain rearrangements that result in the exposure of the F-actin-binding site on G2 and contributes to the activation of gelsolin (PubMed:12460571, PubMed:19666512). Binding to phosphoinositides may inhibit the severing and capping properties of gelsolin (Probable).PTM Phosphorylation on Tyr-86, Tyr-409, Tyr-465, Tyr-603 and Tyr-651 in vitro is induced in presence of phospholipids.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family.ONLINE INFORMATION Gelsolin entry
