    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an essential role in the initiation and elongation phases of genome duplication
  • GINS complex is a key factor for establishing the initiation complex after prereplicative complex assembly and important for the normal progression of the replisome
  • replication complex that in S phase, associates first with replication origins and then with neighboring sequences (Takayama 2003)
  • essential for initiation of DNA replication and S phase progression and directly involved in cellular processes
  • necessary for proliferation and viability (Aparicio 2009)
    CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, replication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • heterotetramer composed of GINS1, GINS2, GINS3, GINS4
  • part of the the GINS complex, an integral component of the replicative helicase machinery that facilitates progression of the replisome complex
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting directly with the heterodimeric human DNA primase
  • interacts with DNA replication factors MCM and CDC45 in chromatin during S phase (Aparicio 2009)
  • GINS1, GINS2, GINS3, GINS4 and TICRR compete with one another for MCM2-7 and CDC45 binding
  • cell & other
