UniProt functional annotation for O43929



	UniProt functional annotation for O43929

UniProt code: O43929.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.

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. Binds histone H3 and H4 trimethylation marks H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and H4K20me3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22427655}.

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 (PubMed:12909626, PubMed:17716973). Interacts with DBF4 (By similarity). Interacts with POLQ (PubMed:24989122). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88708, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12909626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17716973, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24989122}.

Subcellular location: Nucleus.

Disease: Meier-Gorlin syndrome 2 (MGORS2) [MIM:613800]: A syndrome characterized by bilateral microtia, aplasia/hypoplasia of the patellae, and severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation with short stature and poor weight gain. Additional clinical findings include anomalies of cranial sutures, microcephaly, apparently low-set and simple ears, microstomia, full lips, highly arched or cleft palate, micrognathia, genitourinary tract anomalies, and various skeletal anomalies. While almost all cases have primordial dwarfism with substantial prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, not all cases have microcephaly, and microtia and absent/hypoplastic patella are absent in some. Despite the presence of microcephaly, intellect is usually normal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21358631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21358632}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Similarity: Belongs to the ORC4 family. {ECO:0000305}.
