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 Transcription factor that plays a critical role in innate immunity by activating expression of type I interferon (IFN) IFNA and INFB and inflammatory cytokines downstream of endolysosomal toll-like receptors TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9 (PubMed:11303025, PubMed:15695821, PubMed:22412986, PubMed:25326418, PubMed:32433612). Regulates the transcription of type I IFN genes (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) and IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) by binding to an interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) in their promoters (By similarity). Can efficiently activate both the IFN-beta (IFNB) and the IFN-alpha (IFNA) genes and mediate their induction downstream of the TLR-activated, MyD88-dependent pathway (By similarity). Key transcription factor regulating the IFN response during SARS-CoV-2 infection (PubMed:33440148).ACTIVITY REGULATION Maintained as a monomer in an autoinhibited state (PubMed:18836453, PubMed:22412986, PubMed:25326418). Phosphorylation and activation follow the following steps: innate adapter protein TASL recruits IRF5, thereby licensing IRF5 for phosphorylation by IKBKB (PubMed:32433612). Phosphorylated IRF5 dissociates from the adapter proteins, dimerizes, and then enters the nucleus to induce IFNs (PubMed:25326418, PubMed:32433612).ACTIVITY REGULATION (Microbial infection) Activated upon coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection.SUBUNIT Homodimer, when phosphorylated (PubMed:18836453, PubMed:25326418). Interacts with TASL (via pLxIS motif); interaction takes place downstream of TLR7, TLR8 or TLR9, leading to its activation (PubMed:32433612). Interacts with MYD88 and TRAF6 (By similarity).INTERACTION Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm: upon activation by the TLR adapter MYD88 and subsequent phosphorylation, translocates to the nucleus.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues by IKBKB in a C-terminal autoinhibitory region, stimulates dimerization, transport into the nucleus, assembly with the coactivator CBP/EP300 and initiation of transcription.PTM 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination by TRAF6 is required for activation.DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the IRF family.
