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.

textBased on studies in mice, the homeobox transcription factor HOXA2, which directly binds to an evolutionarily conserved site in the second intron of the ROBO2 gene, is needed for the maintenance of ROBO2 expression during pontine neuron migration (Geisen et al. 2008).

Also based on mouse studies, LHX2, a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor, directly represses transcription of the ROBO2 gene by binding to evolutionarily conserved LHX2 binding sites about 50 kb downstream from the ROBO2 gene transcription start site. LHX2 is involved in thalamocortical axon guidance (Marcos-Mondejar et al. 2012). In commissural relay neurons of the dorsal spinal cord, however, ROBO2 expression is not affected by LHX2 (Wilson et al. 2008).

In zebrafish, transcription of Robo2 is directly stimulated by Mecp2 (Leong et al. 2015).
