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.

textDepending on the overall level of activity, MITF may have a proliferative or antiproliferative role. In what has been termed a rheostat model of action, low-levels of MITF activity are associated with dedifferentiation, invasion, p27kip (CDKN1B)-dependent cell cycle arrest and low proliferative rates, while higher MITF activity drive proliferation by upregulation of cell-cycle and mitotic genes such as CDK2, CCNB1, CCND1, MET, PLK1, CENPA and NDC80 (Carreira et al, 2006; Strub et al, 2011; McGill et al, 2006; Beuret et al, 2007; Webster et al, 2014). At even higher MITF levels, cell-cycle is arrested by virtue of expression of p21 (CDKN1A) and p16 (CDKN2A) (Carreira et al, 2005; Loercher et al, 2005; reviewed in Goding and Arnheiter, 2019). This rheostat model of MITF activity and target gene expression can also be used to describe the role of MITF in the development of melanoma, with activation of different groups of target genes driving proliferation and invasion without activation of pigmentation genes (Hoek and Goding, 2010; reviewed in Mort et al, 2015; White and Zon, 2008).
