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.

textThe HHV8 bZIP protein K8 directly binds the viral noncoding RNA T1.4, which is transcribed from the ori-Lyt (L) locus, with CLIP-seq of TPA-induced BCBL-1 cells identifying T1.4 as one of three major viral RNAs cross-linked to K8 and in vitro pulldowns using biotinylated T1.4 and bacterially expressed GST-K8 confirming a direct, specific interaction (Liu et al. 2018). Truncation analysis localised the contacts to both the 5′ GC-repeat and the 3′ non-repeat regions of T1.4, while mutagenesis of K8 mapped the RNA-binding activity to a GRYGR motif (residues 173–177) within the basic domain, since deletion of these residues or substitution to GDDGR abolished T1.4 binding (Liu et al. 2018).
