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.

textPPARA gene encodes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, a ligand-activated transcription factor that functions as a key regulator of lipid metabolism in the brown adipose tissue. Based on mouse studies, expression of PPARA is directly regulated by the transcription factor EBF2, which binds to EBF binding elements in the PPARA gene (mouse studies Rajakumari et al. 2013; Shao et al. 2021). EBF2 facilitates recruitment of the PPARG:RXRA transcription factor complex to the PPAREs (peroxisome proliferator activator response elements) in the vicinity of EBF binding sites at the PPARA gene locus. PPARG augments PPARA gene transcription synergistically with EBF2 (mouse studies Rajakumari et al. 2013; Shao et al. 2021). EBF2-mediated recruitment of the BAF complex to regulatory sequences in the PPARA gene locus may precede EBF2-facilitated binding of PPARG to the PPARA gene locus (mouse study Shao et al. 2021). During differentiation of beige adipocytes in mouse inguinal white adipose tissue Ebf2 and Pparg synergistically upregulate Ppara mRNA levels (Stine et al. 2016). In mouse, depletion of DPF3, a subunit of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex that binds EBF2 and promotes transcription of EBF2 target genes, leads to downregulation of PPARA mRNA (Shapira et al. 2017). Blnc1 lncRNA, a cofactor of EBF2, significantly increases binding of EBF2 to the PPARA gene locus and EBF2-mediated transcriptional activation of PPARA (mouse study Zhao et al. 2014; mouse and human study Mi et al. 2017). PPARA gene expression is negatively regulated by ZNF423-mediated inhibition of EBF2 transcriptional activity, which is associated with the recruitment of the NuRD complex to the PPARA gene regulatory sequences (mouse study Shao et al. 2021).
