UniProt functional annotation for Q24169

UniProt code: Q24169.

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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: ORC is composed of six subunits.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Similarity: Belongs to the ORC5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
