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 Membrane-bound E3 ubiquitin ligase expressed during late stages of lytic replication to mediate polyubiquitination of various host membrane proteins related to the immune response (PubMed:24899205). Promotes ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of host MHC-I and CD1D molecules, DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR, presumably to prevent lysis of infected cells by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (PubMed:10859362, PubMed:11756476). Binds target molecules through transmembrane interaction. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases accept ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and then transfer it to target protein. The result of this ubiquitination is the enhancement of the endocytosis of the target chain and the delivery to the lysosome, where it is proteolytically destroyed. Induces ubiquitination not only on lysines, but also on cysteine residues.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-S-ubiquitinyl-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-cysteine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-S-ubiquitinyl-L-cysteine.PATHWAY Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.SUBUNIT Binds human MHC-I and CD1D.INTERACTION Probably exerts its effects at the plasma membrane during viral infection.MISCELLANEOUS Specific for HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-E alleles.
