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 Adapter protein involved in asymmetrical cell division and cell polarization processes. Probably involved in the formation of epithelial tight junctions. Association with PARD3 may prevent the interaction of PARD3 with F11R/JAM1, thereby preventing tight junction assembly. The PARD6-PARD3 complex links GTP-bound Rho small GTPases to atypical protein kinase C proteins (PubMed:10873802). Regulates centrosome organization and function. Essential for the centrosomal recruitment of key proteins that control centrosomal microtubule organization (PubMed:20719959).SUBUNIT Interacts with MAP2K5 (By similarity). Interacts with PARD3. Interacts with GTP-bound forms of CDC42, RHOQ/TC10 and RAC1. Interacts with the N-terminal part of PRKCI and PRKCZ. Part of a complex with PARD3, CDC42 or RAC1 and PRKCI or PRKCZ. Part of a complex with LLGL1 and PRKCI (By similarity). Interacts with human T-cell leukemia virus type I TAX protein. Interacts with PALS1 and CRB3. Interacts with TGFBR1; involved in TGF-beta induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Interacts with ECT2 ('Thr-359' phosphorylated form) and PRKCI. Interacts with DCTN1 and PCM1 (PubMed:20719959).INTERACTION Colocalizes with GTP-bound CDC42 or RAC1 at membrane ruffles and with PARD3 and PRKCI at epithelial tight junctions. Recruited to the centrosome by a microtubule and dynein-dynactin-dependent mechanism.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in pancreas, skeletal muscle, brain and heart. Weakly expressed in kidney and placenta.DOMAIN The pseudo-CRIB domain together with the PDZ domain is required for the interaction with Rho small GTPases.DOMAIN The PB1 domain mediates interactions with MAP2K5.DOMAIN The PDZ domain mediates the interaction with CRB3.PTM Phosphorylated by the TGF-beta receptor.PTM Ubiquitinated by the SCF(FBXO31) complex, leading to its proteasomal degradation.SIMILARITY Belongs to the PAR6 family.
