| UniProt functional annotation for Q24168 | |||
| UniProt code: Q24168. |
| 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:11137005}. | |
| Subunit: | ORC is composed of six subunits. Interacts with Mcm10. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12808023}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11137005}. Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11137005}. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11137005}. Note=Centromeres of metaphase and anaphase chromosomes of early syncytial embryos. Later in development, found in pericentric regions of late anaphase and telophase chromosomes. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cause death late in larval development, with defects in cell-cycle progression and chromosome condensation in mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11137005}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ORC2 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
