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 Cell surface receptor for IL3 expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells, monocytes and B-lymphocytes that controls the production and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into lineage-restricted cells (PubMed:10527461). Ligand stimulation rapidly induces hetrodimerization with IL3RB, phosphorylation and enzyme activity of effector proteins such as JAK2 and PI3K that play a role in signaling cell proliferation and differentiation. Activation of JAK2 leads to STAT5-mediated transcriptional program (By similarity).SUBUNIT Interacts with IL3 (PubMed:29374162). Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The beta subunit is common to the IL3, IL5 and GM-CSF receptors.INTERACTION The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.DOMAIN The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.PTM Ubiquitinated by RNFT2 in response to IL3. Ubiquitination leads ligand-induced degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitinated by RNF128 via 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination, facilitating its degradation through the lysosomal pathway (PubMed:38702781).MISCELLANEOUS The gene coding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes.SIMILARITY Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily.
