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 Plays a role in the inhibition of host immune response. Interferes with the transactivating potential of cellular IRFs IRF3 and IRF7 that play a critical role in the induction of IFNA and IFNB genes. Additionally, interferes with surface major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) antigen presentation.SUBUNIT Interacts with host SKP2 (PubMed:22453922). Interacts with host USP7 (PubMed:29343584).SIMILARITY Belongs to the IRF family.
