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 Potent pro-inflammatory cytokine (PubMed:10653850, PubMed:12794819, PubMed:28331908, PubMed:3920526). Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B-cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production (PubMed:3920526). Promotes Th17 differentiation of T-cells. Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells (PubMed:10653850). Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with TNF and IL6 (PubMed:12794819). Involved in transduction of inflammation downstream of pyroptosis: its mature form is specifically released in the extracellular milieu by passing through the gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pore (PubMed:33377178, PubMed:33883744). Acts as a sensor of S.pyogenes infection in skin: cleaved and activated by pyogenes SpeB protease, leading to an inflammatory response that prevents bacterial growth during invasive skin infection (PubMed:28331908).ACTIVITY REGULATION (Microbial infection) Cleavage by S.pyogenes cysteine protease SpeB promotes its activation independently of CASP1 (PubMed:28331908, PubMed:32719155). SpeB-mediated maturation of IL1B plays a dual role depending on infection site: while IL1B inflammatory response prevents bacterial growth during invasive skin infections, it promotes streptococcal infection of the nasopharynx by disrupting colonization resistance mediated by the microbiota (PubMed:28331908, PubMed:32719155).SUBUNIT Monomer. In its precursor form, weakly interacts with full-length MEFV; the mature cytokine does not interact at all (PubMed:17431422). Interacts with integrins ITGAV:ITGBV and ITGA5:ITGB1; integrin-binding is required for IL1B signaling (PubMed:29030430). Interacts with cargo receptor TMED10; the interaction is direct and is required for the secretion of IL1B mature form (PubMed:32272059). Interacts with HSP90AB1; the interaction facilitates cargo translocation into the ERGIC (PubMed:32272059). Interacts with HSP90B1; the interaction facilitates cargo translocation into the ERGIC (PubMed:32272059).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION The precursor is cytosolic (PubMed:15192144). In response to inflammasome-activating signals, such as ATP for NLRP3 inflammasome or bacterial flagellin for NLRC4 inflammasome, cleaved and secreted (PubMed:24201029, PubMed:33377178, PubMed:33883744). Mature form is secreted and released in the extracellular milieu by passing through the gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pore (PubMed:33883744). In contrast, the precursor form is not released, due to the presence of an acidic region that is proteolytically removed by CASP1 during maturation (PubMed:33883744). The secretion is dependent on protein unfolding and facilitated by the cargo receptor TMED10 (PubMed:32272059).TISSUE SPECIFICITY Expressed in activated monocytes/macrophages (at protein level).INDUCTION By LPS (PubMed:15192144). Transcription and translation induced by M.tuberculosis and a number of different M.tuberculosis components in macrophages; EsxA is the most potent activator tested (at protein level) (PubMed:20148899). In pancreatic islets, release is increased by high glucose treatment. In pancreatic islets and macrophages, release is also increased by endocannabinoid anandamide/AEA (PubMed:23955712).PTM Activation of the IL1B precursor involves a CASP1-catalyzed proteolytic cleavage. Processing and secretion are temporarily associated.PTM (Microbial infection) Cleavage by S.pyogenes cysteine protease SpeB promotes its activation independently of CASP1.MISCELLANEOUS The IL1B production occurs in 2 steps, each being controlled by different stimuli. First, inflammatory signals, such as LPS, stimulate the synthesis and promote the accumulation of cytosolic stores of pro-IL1B (priming). Then additional signals are required for inflammasome assembly, leading to CASP1 activation, pro-IL1B processing and eventually secretion of the active cytokine. IL1B processing and secretion are temporarily associated.SIMILARITY Belongs to the IL-1 family.ONLINE INFORMATION Interleukin-1 entry
