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.

textConstitutively active AKT isoforms, AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3, were reported to downregulate transcription mediated by the NOTCH1 intracellular domain fagment NICD1 through AKT-mediated phosphorylation of cytosolic NICD1, which inhibits nuclear translocation of NICD1 and activation of target promoters (Song et al. 2008). In another study, AKT1 was shown to phosphorylate NOTCH4 intracellular domain fragment NICD4 on four serine residues which are not conserved in all four NOTCH isoforms, leading to binding of phosphorylated NICD4 to 14-3-3-zeta (YWHAZ) and its retention in the cytosol (Ramakrishnan et al. 2015). In mouse retinal progenitors, Akt activation inhibits Nicd1-mediated transcriptional activity, leading to reduced formation of Nicd1 transcription activation complexes with Rbpj (Jo et al. 2012). Pten, a negative regulator of Akt activation, is required to maintain Nicd1 transcriptional activity in mouse retinal progenitors (Jo et al. 2012). Pten is also needed to maintain Notch1 signaling in adult mouse skeletal stem cells in which Akt-mediated phosphorylation of Foxo1 impairs Foxo1-facilitated formation of Notch1 transcription activation complexes with Rbpj (Yue et al. 2017). In a model of vascular dementia-induced neuronal injury in rats, AKT was reported to downregulate NOTCH transcriptional activity by inactivating GSK3B (Liu et al. 2015). Inhibition of AKT leads to activating phosphorylation of NICD1 by GSK3B, which promotes nuclear transcloation and transcriptional activity of NICD1 (Liu et al. 2016). Contrary to these findings, AKT-mediated phosphorylation of NICD1 on a serine residue was reported to promote nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity of NICD1 in gastric cancer (Zhou et al. 2025). During neuronal development in zebrafish are part of a positive feedback loop that maintains neuronal precursors and prevents neuronal differentiation, with Akt activating Notch signaling, and Notch signaling increasing the expression level of Akt (Cheng et al. 2013).
