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.

| text | Activation of SMO in vertebrate cells depends upon its sequential phosphorylation by CSNK1A1/CK1alpha and ADRBK1/GRK2 kinases. Phosphorylation is thought to promote a conformational change in the SMO C-terminal tails, destabilizing an intramolecular interaction within the tail and promoting a more open conformation that brings the two tails of the SMO dimer into closer proximity (Chen et al, 2010; Chen et al, 2011; Wilson et al, 2009). This mechanism parallels the activation of Smo in Drosophila, where phosphorylation of consensus PKA and CK1 sites in the C-terminus promotes conformational change (Zhao et al, 2007). In both Drosophila and vertebrates, the kinases interact with SMO as assessed by co-precipitation (Zhao et al, 2007; Chen et al, 2010; Chen et al, 2011). In vertebrate cells, SHH stimulation appears to promote a 2-step activation of SMO. In the first step, CSNK1A1 binds to the C-terminal tails in the closed conformation. Initial CSNK1A1-mediated phosphorylation promotes the open conformation and increases the binding affinity of both CSNK1A1 and ADRBK1/GRK2 for the SMO tail, establishing a positive feedback loop to enhance SMO phosphorylation (Chen et al, 2010; Chen et al, 2011; Meloni et al 2006; Philipp et al, 2008). CSNK1A1 accumulates in the primary cilium in an SHH-dependent manner, and the kinetics of SMO phosphorylation are faster there than in the whole cell. Phosphorylation also depends on the kinesin II ciliary motor KIF3A, and promotes the ciliary accumulation of SMO, possibly in a ARRB-dependent manner (Chen et al, 2011; Meloni et al, 2006). |
