UniProt functional annotation for Q9Z1N2

UniProt code: Q9Z1N2.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Component of the origin recognition complex (ORC) that binds origins of replication. DNA-binding is ATP-dependent. The specific DNA sequences that define origins of replication have not been identified yet. ORC is required to assemble the pre-replication complex necessary to initiate DNA replication (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Component of ORC, a complex composed of at least 6 subunits: ORC1, ORC2, ORC3, ORC4, ORC5 and ORC6. ORC is regulated in a cell-cycle dependent manner. It is sequentially assembled at the exit from anaphase of mitosis and disassembled as cells enter S phase (By similarity). Interacts with CDC6 and KAT7/HBO1 (By similarity). Interacts with LRWD1 predominantly during the G1 phase and with less affinity during mitosis, when phosphorylated (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The BAH domain mediates binding to dimethylated histone H4 'Lys-20' (H4K20me2), which is enriched at replication origins.
Ptm: Phosphorylated during mitosis. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ORC1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
