Origin recognition complex subunit 2 is a protein that is encoded by the ORC2 (ORC2L) gene in humans. [5] [6]
The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a highly conserved six subunits protein complex essential for the initiation of the DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Studies in yeast demonstrated that ORC binds specifically to origins of replication and serves as a platform for the assembly of additional initiation factors such as Cdc6 and Mcm proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the ORC complex. This protein forms a core complex with ORC3, ORC4, and ORC5. It also interacts with CDC45L and MCM10, which are proteins known to be important for the initiation of DNA replication. This protein has been demonstrated to specifically associate with the origin of replication of Epstein-Barr virus in human cells, and is thought to be required for DNA replication from viral origin of replication. [6]
ORC2 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.
In molecular biology, origin recognition complex (ORC) is a multi-subunit DNA binding complex that binds in all eukaryotes and archaea in an ATP-dependent manner to origins of replication. The subunits of this complex are encoded by the ORC1, ORC2, ORC3, ORC4, ORC5 and ORC6 genes. ORC is a central component for eukaryotic DNA replication, and remains bound to chromatin at replication origins throughout the cell cycle.
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.
Replication protein A 70 kDa DNA-binding subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPA1 gene.
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.
CDT1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDT1 gene. It is a licensing factor that functions to limit DNA from replicating more than once per cell cycle.
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.
Origin recognition complex subunit 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ORC4 (ORC4L) gene.
Origin recognition complex subunit 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ORC6 (ORC6L) 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.
CDC45 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDC45L gene.
Origin recognition complex subunit 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ORC5 (ORC5L) gene.
Origin recognition complex subunit 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ORC3 (ORC3L) gene.
In cell biology, eukaryotes possess a regulatory system that ensures that DNA replication occurs only once per cell cycle.
Origin recognition complex subunit 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ORC1 gene. It is closely related to CDC6, and both are the same protein in archaea.
