A baker's dozen: new pathways in Reactome release 49

New pathways in release 49 include WNT in cancer, anthrax toxins, Processing-defective Hh variants and Aflatoxin activation and detoxification, among others.

Disease

• WNT in cancer
• Uptake and function of anthrax toxins
• Processing-defective Hh variants abrogate ligand secretion

Metabolism

• Aflatoxin activation and detoxification.

Immune system

• Activation of IRF3/IRF7 mediated by TBK1/IKK epsilon.

Development

• Updated pathway for EPH-EFN signaling. 

Signal transduction

• TCF-dependent signaling in response to WNT
• VEGFA-VEGFR2 signaling
• Hedgehog ligand biogenesis. 

DNA repair

• Mismatch Repair

Chromatin organization

• HDACs deacetylate histones
• RMTs methylate histone arginines
• HDMs demethylate histones.
