CDC45 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDC45L gene. [5] [6] [7] [8]
The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its strong similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc45, an essential protein required to the initiation of DNA replication. Cdc45 is a member of the highly conserved multiprotein complex including Cdc6/Cdc18, the minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCMs) and DNA polymerase, which is important for early steps of DNA replication in eukaryotes. This protein has been shown to interact with MCM7 and DNA polymerase alpha. Studies of the similar gene in Xenopus suggested that this protein plays a pivotal role in the loading of DNA polymerase alpha onto chromatin. Multiple polyadenylation sites of this gene are reported. [8]
CDC45-related protein has been shown to interact with:
DNA replication licensing factor MCM6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM6 gene. MCM6 is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication.
Eukaryotic DNA replication is a conserved mechanism that restricts DNA replication to once per cell cycle. Eukaryotic DNA replication of chromosomal DNA is central for the duplication of a cell and is necessary for the maintenance of the eukaryotic genome.
DNA replication licensing factor MCM7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM7 gene.
DNA replication licensing factor MCM2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM2 gene.
DNA replication licensing factor MCM3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM3 gene.
Cell division control protein 6 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDC6 gene.
DNA replication licensing factor MCM4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM4 gene.
Origin recognition complex subunit 2 is a protein that is encoded by the ORC2 (ORC2L) gene in humans.
DNA replication licensing factor MCM5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM5 gene.
Cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDC7 gene. The Cdc7 kinase is involved in regulation of the cell cycle at the point of chromosomal DNA replication. The gene CDC7 appears to be conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution; this means that most eukaryotic cells have the Cdc7 kinase protein.
Protein DBF4 homolog A is a protein that is encoded by the DBF4 gene in humans.
DNA repair protein REV1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REV1 gene.
Protein MCM10 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM10 gene. It is essential for activation of the Cdc45:Mcm2-7:GINS helicase, and thus required for proper DNA replication.
80 kDa MCM3-associated protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM3AP gene.
Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 17 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MED17 gene.
DNA polymerase delta subunit 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLD3 gene. It is a component of the DNA polymerase delta complex.
DNA polymerase epsilon subunit 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLE3 gene.
Transcription elongation factor SPT6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SUPT6H gene.
DNA polymerase epsilon catalytic subunit is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLE gene. It is the central catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase epsilon.
DNA polymerase alpha subunit 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLA2 gene.
