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 Probable transcription factor, required for migration of the hermaphrodite-specific motor neurons (HSNs) from the tail to the gonad primordium during HSN cell differentiation (PubMed:10049362, PubMed:8224840). Required for phasmid neuron development (PubMed:8224840). Required to specify the pi-cell fate of ventral uterine precursor cell (VU) cells (PubMed:17573066).FUNCTION Probable transcription factor, involved in lin-12 (Notch)-dependent anchor cell (AC) and ventral uterine (VU) precursor cell fate specification and in AC invasion (PubMed:17215301, PubMed:17573066, PubMed:32203506). Prevents AC proliferation after AC cell specification by repressing lin-12 expression (PubMed:32203506). May form a positive feedback loop, together with the transcription factor fos-1, that maintains mutual high levels of expression and so activates AC invasion (PubMed:32203506).FUNCTION Dispensable for anchor cell (AC) invasion and for preventing AC proliferation.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed in the hermaphrodite-specific motor neuron (HSN) / phasmid sensory neuron B (PHB) precursor, and the phasmid sensory neuron A (PHA) in the tail at ~400 minutes embryogenesis (at protein level) (PubMed:10049362). Continues to be expressed in PHA and PHB neurons of L1 larvae (PubMed:10049362). Expressed in the HSN before and during HSN migration from the tail to the gonad primordium of the embryo and down-regulated after migration (at protein level) (PubMed:10049362). Expressed in the pre-anchor cell (AC)/pre-ventral uterine (VU) cells at early L2 and maintained in their 37 descendants at early L4 (PubMed:17215301, PubMed:32203506).DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expressed in the ventral uterine (VU) cells of mid L2 larvae (Pn.p stage) and then in the anchor cell (AC) beginning in mid L3 larvae (PubMed:17573066, PubMed:32203506). Expression increases during AC invasion (PubMed:17573066).DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expressed, earlier than isoform a, in the anchor cell (AC) at the Pn.p stage in mid L2 larvae (PubMed:17573066). Expression decreases during AC invasion (PubMed:17573066).DOMAIN The positive regulatory (PR) domain is required for egl-43 protein stability but is dispensable for anchor cell (AC) invasion and preventing AC proliferation.DOMAIN The C2H2-type zinc-finger domains 1, 2 and 3 are dispensable for anchor cell (AC) invasion and preventing AC proliferation.DOMAIN The C2H2-type zinc-finger domains 4 and 5 may be required for anchor cell (AC) invasion and preventing AC proliferation.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE RNAi-mediated knockdown causes defects in anchor cell (AC) and ventral uterine (VU) precursor cell specification and AC invasion in the larval L3 and L4 stages (PubMed:17215301, PubMed:17573066). RNAi-mediated knockdown on a lin-12 mutant background reverses the AC-deficient phenotype (PubMed:17215301). RNAi-mediated knockdown reduces expression of zmp-1, cdh-3 and him-4 in the AC (PubMed:17215301, PubMed:17573066). RNAi-mediated knockdown reduces expression of fos-1a in the anchor cell (AC) approximately three-fold (PubMed:32203506). RNAi-mediated knockdown causes defects in vulval morphogenesis (PubMed:17573066).DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE RNAi-mediated knockdown causes defects in anchor cell (AC) invasion, including increased CDK activity and re-entry of the AC into the cell cycle, resulting in the presence of two or more AC.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE No defects in anchor cell (AC) invasion or arrest in G1 seen upon RNAi-mediated knockdown.
