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 Mitotic kinesin required for chromosome passenger complex (CPC)-mediated cytokinesis. Following phosphorylation by PLK1, involved in recruitment of PLK1 to the central spindle. Interacts with guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound forms of RAB6A and RAB6B. May act as a motor required for the retrograde RAB6 regulated transport of Golgi membranes and associated vesicles along microtubules. Has a microtubule plus end-directed motility.INTERACTION Localizes to the spindle midzone during anaphase and telophase.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Phosphorylated by PLK1 at Ser-528 during mitosis, creating a docking site for PLK1 and recruiting PLK1 at central spindle.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family.
