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.

textMITF-M binds to the promoter of the RAB27A gene as determined by EMSA and ChIP in human and mouse cells (Chiaverini et al, 2008, Strub et al, 2011; reviewed in Cheli et al, 2010; Goding and Arnheiter, 2019). MITF-M binding to two E box elements at position-58 to -53 and -47 to -42 drives alpha-MSH and forskolin-responsive expression of RAB27A in mouse and human cells (Chiaverini et al, 2008).
Active GTP:bound RAB27A forms a tripartite complex with MYO5A (another MITF-M target gene) and MLPH (also known as melanophilin) to regulate the localization of melanosomes (Bahadoran et al, 2001; Fukuda et al, 2002; Nagashima et al, 2003; Kuroda and Fukuda, 2004; Alves et al, 2013; Evans et al, 2014; Alves et al, 2017; reviewed in Seabra and Coudrier, 2004; Cheli et al, 2010; Hume and Seabra, 2011). MYO5A interacts with the actin cytoskeleton to localize melanosomes to the ends of dendrites in a manner that also depends on RAB27A and MLPH. Experiments in which MITF-M levels are deliberately manipulated in vitro indicate that MITF-M, by regulating RAB27A, plays a role in melanosome localization (Kuroda and Fukuda, 2004; Chiaverini et al, 2008).
