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.

textLoricrin (LOR) is the main component of the epidermal cornified envelope (CE). Comprising 70–85% of the total protein mass of the CE (Steinert & Marekov 1995), it is thought to function as the main reinforcement protein. LOR is extensively crosslinked through isopeptide bonds but also crosslinked to small proline-rich proteins (SPRs), which may function as bridging proteins between LOR molecules (Candi et al. 2005). Loricrin can also form crosslinks with keratin and filaggrin (Steinert 1993). Crosslinking in the cornified envelope involves the formation of very stable isopeptide bonds that are catalysed by transglutaminases TG1, TG3 and TG5 (Lorand & Graham 2003). The type-II keratin chains (K1, K2e and K5) are crosslinked by TGs at a specific Lys residue that is located in a conserved region of the V1 subdomain of the head domain (Steinert & Marekov 1995). Involucrin can be crosslinked by TG1, which preferentially crosslinks residues Gln495 and Gln496 (Simon & Green 1998). In vitro, LOR is a substrate for TG1, TG2, TG3 and TG5 (Candi et al. 1995). In the epidermis, TG1, TG5 and TG3 are believed to crosslink LOR sequentially; an initial attachment by TG1 and TG5 forms interchain crosslinks followed by a compaction process that involves TG3 (Candi et al. 2005). SPRs are also TG substrates, particularly TG3 (Candi et al. 1999, Tarcsa et al. 1998, Steinert et al. 1999).
