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.

textNACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 1 (NLRP1) undergoes constitutive intramolecular autoproteolysis within its Function-to-find domain (FIIND) at the F1212–S1213 site (D'Osualdo A et al., 2011; Finger JA et al., 2012). This self-cleavage separates the protein into an inhibitory N-terminal fragment, NLRP1 (1–1212), and a C-terminal UPA-CARD fragment, that is competent for inflammasome activation. Following cleavage, these two fragments remain noncovalently associated, maintaining NLRP1 in an autoinhibited state prior to activation. Structural and biochemical studies describe FIIND autoproteolysis as a prerequisite for activation (D'Osualdo A et al., 2011; Finger JA et al., 2012; Zhong FL et al., 2016; Gong Q et al., 2021)
