UniProt functional annotation for O16810

UniProt code: O16810.

Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora.
 
Function: Component of the origin recognition complex (ORC) that binds origins of replication. DNA-binding is ATP-dependent, however specific DNA sequences that define origins of replication have not been identified so far. ORC is required to assemble the pre-replication complex necessary to initiate DNA replication. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9363940}.
 
Subunit: ORC is composed of six subunits. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ORC1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
