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.

| text | Regenerating islet-derived 3A (REG3A) is thought to recognize and kill its bacterial targets in two distinct steps (Mukherjee S et al. 2014). First, REG3A is secreted from epithelial cells as a soluble monomer that recognizes Gram-positive bacteria by binding to peptidoglycan carbohydrate via an EPN motif located in the long loop region (Lehotzky RE et al. 2010). Second, REG3A kills bacteria by oligomerizing in the bacterial membrane to form a hexameric membrane-penetrating pore that is predicted to induce uncontrolled ion efflux with subsequent osmotic lysis (Mukherjee S et al. 2014). The inhibitory N-terminus of REG3A propeptide hinders lipid binding and consequently suppresses pore formation until it is removed by trypsin after secretion into the intestinal lumen (Mukherjee S et al. 2009; 2014). |
