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 Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins (PubMed:10329681, PubMed:18042044, PubMed:18703417, PubMed:20061386, PubMed:20403326, PubMed:20525694, PubMed:26475854, PubMed:28322253). Catalyzes 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination (PubMed:10329681, PubMed:18042044, PubMed:18359941, PubMed:18703417, PubMed:20061386, PubMed:20403326, PubMed:20525694, PubMed:26475854). Mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins (PubMed:10329681, PubMed:18042044, PubMed:18359941, PubMed:18703417, PubMed:20061386, PubMed:20403326, PubMed:20525694, PubMed:26475854). Functions in the E6/E6-AP-induced ubiquitination of p53/TP53 (PubMed:15280377). Mediates ubiquitination of PEX5 and SQSTM1 and autoubiquitination of STUB1 and TRAF6 (PubMed:18359941, PubMed:28322253). Involved in the signal-induced conjugation and subsequent degradation of NFKBIA, FBXW2-mediated GCM1 ubiquitination and degradation, MDM2-dependent degradation of p53/TP53 and the activation of MAVS in the mitochondria by RIGI in response to viral infection (PubMed:18703417, PubMed:20403326). Essential for viral activation of IRF3 (PubMed:19854139).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY S-ubiquitinyl-[E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine = [E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY S-ubiquitinyl-[E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine + N(6)-monoubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine.PATHWAY Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.SUBUNIT Interacts with SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Interacts with CNOT4 (via RING domain). Interacts with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases CBLC, PJA1 and PJA2. Interacts with PDZRN3. Interacts with PPP1R11 (By similarity). Interacts with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase PHF7; the interaction inhibits cleavage of PHF7 and promotes association of the complex with the nucleosome core particle (PubMed:37993255).INTERACTION Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.
