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 Component of the 26S proteasome, a multiprotein complex involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. This complex plays a key role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis by removing misfolded or damaged proteins, which could impair cellular functions, and by removing proteins whose functions are no longer required. Therefore, the proteasome participates in numerous cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, apoptosis, or DNA damage repair. PSMC2 belongs to the heterohexameric ring of AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) proteins that unfolds ubiquitinated target proteins that are concurrently translocated into a proteolytic chamber and degraded into peptides.SUBUNIT Component of the 19S proteasome regulatory particle complex. The 26S proteasome consists of a 20S core particle (CP) and two 19S regulatory subunits (RP) (PubMed:27342858, PubMed:27428775). The regulatory particle is made of a lid composed of 9 subunits, a base containing 6 ATPases including PSMC2 and few additional components (PubMed:27342858, PubMed:27428775). Interacts with NDC80/HEC; this interaction is detected only during M phase (PubMed:10409732, PubMed:9295362). Interacts and SQSTM1 (PubMed:15340068). Interacts with PAAF1 (PubMed:15831487). Directly interacts with TRIM5 (PubMed:22078707).SUBUNIT (Microbial infection) Interacts with HIV-1 Tat.INTERACTION Colocalizes with TRIM5 in cytoplasmic bodies.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expression is not cell cycle-dependent and occurs throughout the cell cycle.PTM Monoubiquitinated by RNF181.PTM Phosphorylated (PubMed:28539385). Dephosphorylated by UBLCP1 which impairs PSMC2 ATPase activity and disrupts 26S proteasome assembly (PubMed:28539385).SIMILARITY Belongs to the AAA ATPase family.
