UniProt functional annotation for Q9Y1B2

UniProt code: Q9Y1B2.

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 {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity:		Belongs to the ORC6 family. {ECO:0000305}.
