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. Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ISG15 to other proteins. Mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins. In vitro also catalyzes 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Catalyzes monoubiquitination of other proteins in both an E3-dependent and E3-independent manner (PubMed:27237050).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 RNF14.INTERACTION ISGylation suppresses ubiquitin E2 enzyme activity.PTM Autoubiquitinated in vitro.SIMILARITY Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.
