  • nuclear localization signal (NLS)
  • helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif

  • gradually are displaced from chromatin during S phase, ending up exclusively at centric (and in some cells, also telomeric) heterochromatin in mitosis
  • ORC1, ORC3, and ORC5 all localize between the chromosomes at anaphase II, but could not be detected in zygotic G1
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in transcription regulation
  • implicated in many cellular activities, including DNA replication, transcriptional control, heterochromatin assembly, centromere and telomere function
  • with ORC2 and CBX5, may be recruited to the chromatin as a single complex and require each other for their stable association to heterochromatin
  • involvement of ORC1, ORC2, ORC3 in the maintenance of constitutive heterochromatin
  • together with CBX proteins may be involved in organizing higher-order chromatin structure and centromere function
  • conserved role of ORC5 in modulating DNA structure to facilitate origin selection and helicase loading in eukaryotes

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component one of the six components of the origin recognition complex
    INTERACTION
    DNA binding to the autonomoulsy replication sequence (ARS) consensus sequence (ACS)
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ORC2
  • ORC4
  • ORC5
  • CCNE2
  • interaction of CDT1 with ORCs is involved in the formation of the prereplicative complex, rather than in regulation of the activity of ORCs
  • connection between ORCs and chromatin structure via the Set1 complex
  • interactions between ORC3 and CBX5 involve a conserved MIR domain (PXVHH) that is also found in other CBX-interacting proteins
