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 Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity (PubMed:7846071, PubMed:8107847). Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (PubMed:12566452, PubMed:2215617). Light-induced isomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins (PubMed:26200343, PubMed:28524165, PubMed:28753425, PubMed:8107847). Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling (PubMed:26200343, PubMed:28524165).SUBUNIT Homodimer (By similarity). May form a complex composed of RHO, GRK1 and RCVRN in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner; RCVRN prevents the interaction between GRK1 and RHO (By similarity). Interacts with GRK1 (PubMed:28524165). Interacts (phosphorylated form) with SAG (PubMed:26200343, PubMed:28524165, PubMed:28753425). Interacts with GNAT1 (PubMed:26200343). Interacts with GNAT3. SAG and G-proteins compete for a common binding site (PubMed:26200343). Interacts with PRCD; the interaction promotes PRCD stability (By similarity). Forms a complex with ASAP1 and ARF4. Forms a complex with ASAP1, RAB11A, Rabin8/RAB3IP, ARF4 and RAB11FIP3; the complex regulates Golgi-to-cilia rhodopsin/RHO transport in photoreceptors (By similarity).INTERACTION Synthesized in the inner segment (IS) of rod photoreceptor cells before vectorial transport to disk membranes in the rod outer segment (OS) photosensory cilia.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Rod shaped photoreceptor cells which mediate vision in dim light.PTM Phosphorylated on some or all of the serine and threonine residues present in the C-terminal region (By similarity). After activation by light, phosphorylated by GRK1 (in vitro) (PubMed:28524165).PTM Contains one covalently linked retinal chromophore. Upon light absorption, the covalently bound 11-cis-retinal is converted to all-trans-retinal. After hydrolysis of the Schiff base and release of the covalently bound all-trans-retinal, active rhodopsin is regenerated by binding of a fresh molecule of 11-cis-retinal (PubMed:12566452).DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Opsin subfamily.ONLINE INFORMATION Rhodopsin entry
