UniProt functional annotation for P25205

UniProt code: P25205.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Acts as component of the MCM2-7 complex (MCM complex) which is the putative replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. The active ATPase sites in the MCM2-7 ring are formed through the interaction surfaces of two neighboring subunits such that a critical structure of a conserved arginine finger motif is provided in trans relative to the ATP-binding site of the Walker A box of the adjacent subunit. The six ATPase active sites, however, are likely to contribute differentially to the complex helicase activity. Required for DNA replication and cell proliferation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49739}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=3.6.4.12;
Subunit: Component of the MCM2-7 complex (PubMed:16899510, PubMed:17296731). The complex forms a toroidal hexameric ring with the proposed subunit order MCM2-MCM6-MCM4-MCM7-MCM3-MCM5 (PubMed:16899510, PubMed:17296731). Associated with the replication-specific DNA polymerase alpha (By similarity). Interacts with MCMBP (PubMed:17296731). Interacts with ANKRD17 (PubMed:23711367). Interacts with MCM3AP isoform MCM3AP; this interaction leads to MCM3 acetylation (PubMed:9712829, PubMed:11258703, PubMed:12226073). Component of the CMG helicase complex, composed of the MCM2-7 complex, the GINS complex and CDC45 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P25206, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11258703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12226073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16899510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17296731, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23711367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9712829}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49739}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49739}. Note=Associated with chromatin before the formation of nuclei and detaches from it as DNA replication progresses. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49739}.
Ptm: Acetylated by MCM3AP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11258703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12226073}.
Ptm: O-glycosylated (O-GlcNAcylated), in a cell cycle-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22967762}.
Miscellaneous: Early fractionation of eukaryotic MCM proteins yielded a variety of dimeric, trimeric and tetrameric complexes with unclear biological significance. The MCM2-7 hexamer is the proposed physiological active complex.
Similarity: Belongs to the MCM family. {ECO:0000305}.
