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 Protein kinase activator that acts as a key activator of the integrated stress response (ISR) following various stresses, such as iron deficiency, mitochondrial stress or mitochondrial DNA breaks (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707, PubMed:35388015, PubMed:37327776, PubMed:37550454, PubMed:37832546, PubMed:38340717). Detects impaired protein import and processing in mitochondria, activating the ISR (PubMed:35388015). May also required for the induction of death receptor-mediated apoptosis through the regulation of caspase activation (PubMed:20563667).FUNCTION Protein kinase activator that activates the ISR in response to iron deficiency: iron deficiency impairs mitochondrial import, promoting DELE1 localization at the mitochondrial surface, where it binds and activates EIF2AK1/HRI to trigger the ISR.FUNCTION Protein kinase activator generated by protein cleavage in response to mitochondrial stress, which accumulates in the cytosol and specifically binds to and activates the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK1/HRI (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707, PubMed:37327776, PubMed:37550454, PubMed:37832546, PubMed:38340717). It thereby activates the integrated stress response (ISR): EIF2AK1/HRI activation promotes eIF-2-alpha (EIF2S1) phosphorylation, leading to a decrease in global protein synthesis and the induction of selected genes, including the transcription factor ATF4, the master transcriptional regulator of the ISR (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707, PubMed:37327776, PubMed:37550454, PubMed:37832546). Also acts as an activator of PRKN-independent mitophagy: activates the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK1/HRI in response to mitochondrial damage, promoting eIF-2-alpha (EIF2S1) phosphorylation, leading to mitochondrial localization of EIF2S1 followed by induction of mitophagy (PubMed:38340717).SUBUNIT Interacts with DAP3.SUBUNIT Interacts (via TPR repeats) with EIF2AK1/HRI; activating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK1/HRI, thereby promoting the integrated stress response (ISR).SUBUNIT Homooctamer; oligomerization is required to activate EIF2AK1/HRI (PubMed:37550454). Interacts (via TPR repeats) with EIF2AK1/HRI; activating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK1/HRI, thereby promoting the integrated stress response (ISR) (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707, PubMed:37550454, PubMed:38340717).INTERACTION Imported in the mitochondrial matrix in absence of stress, leading to its degradation by LONP1 (PubMed:37327776). Localizes at the mitochondrial surface in response to iron deficiency: iron deficiency impairs mitochondrial import, promoting localization at the mitochondrial surface and stabilization (PubMed:37327776). Associates with the mitochondrion inner membrane in response to mitochondrial stress, leading to its proteolytic processing by OMA1, and generation of the AP3-binding cell death enhancer 1 short form (DELE1(S) or S-DELE1) (PubMed:32132707).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION This short form is generated by proteolytic processing by OMA1 in response to mitochondrial stress, leading to translocation to the cytosol.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Detected in liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thyroid, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon.DOMAIN The TPR repeats bind to and activate EIF2AK1/HRI.PTM Unstable protein in absence of stress: imported in the mitochondrial matrix following processing by the mitochondrial-processing peptidase (MPP), where it is degraded by LONP1 (PubMed:37327776). Stabilized in response to iron deficiency: iron deficiency impairs mitochondrial import, promoting localization at the mitochondrial surface and stabilization (PubMed:37327776). Cleaved by OMA1 in response to mitochondrial stress, generating the DAP3-binding cell death enhancer 1 short form (DELE1(S) or S-DELE1) that accumulates in the cytosol and activates the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK1/HRI (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707, PubMed:37327776, PubMed:38340717). Protein cleavage by OMA1 can take place at different positions, and apparently does not require a specific sequence motif (PubMed:32132707).PTM Ubiquitinated and degraded by the SIFI complex once the mitochondrial stress has been resolved, thereby providing stress response silencing (PubMed:38297121). Within the SIFI complex, UBR4 initiates ubiquitin chain that are further elongated or branched by KCMF1 (PubMed:38297121).SIMILARITY Belongs to the DELE1 family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Extended N-terminus.ONLINE INFORMATION Stress - Issue 230 of November 2020
