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 activator that plays a role in the regulation of meristematic function in leaves, stems and inflorescences (PubMed:24532604). Transcription activator that plays a regulatory role in grain development (PubMed:26187814, PubMed:26936408, PubMed:27107174, PubMed:27250747, PubMed:27250749). Positively regulates grain size by promoting cell division and expansion, leading to increased grain length and width (PubMed:26187814, PubMed:26936408, PubMed:27107174, PubMed:27250747, PubMed:27250749). Positively regulates the expression of genes promoting cell proliferation (PubMed:26187814, PubMed:26936408). Activates the expression of expansin genes to promote cell expansion and grain size (PubMed:27250747). May promote grain size by activating brassinosteroid responses (PubMed:27250747). Component of a network formed by the microRNA396 (miRNA396), the GRFs and their interacting factors (GIFs) acting in the regulation of meristem function, at least partially through the control of cell proliferation (Probable). Component of the miRNA396c-GRF4-GIF1 regulatory module that plays an important role in grain size determination (Probable) (PubMed:27107174, PubMed:27250747, PubMed:27250749).ACTIVITY REGULATION Transactivation activity is repressed by GSK2.SUBUNIT Interacts with GIF1 (PubMed:27107174, PubMed:27250747, PubMed:27250749). Interacts with GSK2 (PubMed:27250747).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed in stems (PubMed:27107174). Expressed in panicles (PubMed:26187814, PubMed:27107174, PubMed:27250747, PubMed:27250749).INDUCTION The microRNA396c negatively regulates GRF4 at the transcriptional level.DOMAIN The QLQ domain and WRC domain may be involved in protein-protein interaction and DNA-binding, respectively (Probable). The C-terminal region downstream of the QLQ and WRC domains is necessary for transactivation activity (PubMed:26187814, PubMed:27107174, PubMed:27250747).POLYMORPHISM A two nucleotide mutation at the miRNA396c target site results in elevated transcript levels of GRF4, and the accumulation of GRF4 leads to enlarged cell size and increased cell number, which in turn results in enhanced grain weight and yield.MISCELLANEOUS Plants over-expressing GRF4 exhibit increased grain length, width and weight (PubMed:27107174). Plants silencing GRF4 exhibit dwarfism, delayed growth and inflorescence formation (PubMed:24532604).SIMILARITY Belongs to the GRF family.
