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 Recruits TFIIH to the initiation complex and stimulates the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain kinase and DNA-dependent ATPase activities of TFIIH. Both TFIIH and TFIIE are required for promoter clearance by RNA polymerase.SUBUNIT Tetramer of two alpha and two beta chains (PubMed:1956398). Interacts with TAF6/TAFII80 (PubMed:7667268). Interacts with ATF7IP (PubMed:19106100). Interacts with SND1 (PubMed:7651391). Part of TBP-based Pol II pre-initiation complex (PIC), in which Pol II core assembles with general transcription factors and other specific initiation factors including GTF2E1, GTF2E2, GTF2F1, GTF2F2, TCEA1, ERCC2, ERCC3, GTF2H2, GTF2H3, GTF2H4, GTF2H5, GTF2A1, GTF2A2, GTF2B and TBP; this large multi-subunit PIC complex mediates DNA unwinding and targets Pol II core to the transcription start site where the first phosphodiester bond forms.SUBUNIT (Microbial infection) Interacts with varicella-zoster virus IE63 protein.INTERACTION Belongs to the TFIIE alpha subunit family.
