ORC6
geneOn this page
Summary
ORC6 (origin recognition complex subunit 6, HGNC:17151) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q11.2, encoding Origin recognition complex subunit 6 (Q9Y5N6). Component of the origin recognition complex (ORC) that binds origins of replication. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.4% of cancer cell lines).
The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a highly conserved six subunit 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. Gene silencing studies with small interfering RNA demonstrated that this protein plays an essential role in coordinating chromosome replication and segregation with cytokinesis.

All UniProt accessions (4): Q9Y5N6, H3BMA4, H3BT22, H3BTQ7
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Component of the origin recognition complex (ORC) that binds origins of replication. DNA-binding is ATP-dependent. The specific DNA sequences that define origins of replication have not been identified yet. ORC is required to assemble the pre-replication complex necessary to initiate DNA replication. Does not bind histone H3 and H4 trimethylation marks H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and H4K20me3.
Subunit / interactions. Component of ORC, a complex composed of at least 6 subunits: ORC1, ORC2, ORC3, ORC4, ORC5 and ORC6. ORC is regulated in a cell-cycle dependent manner. It is sequentially assembled at the exit from anaphase of mitosis and disassembled as cells enter S phase. Interacts with DBF4.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Meier-Gorlin syndrome 3 (MGORS3) [MIM:613803] A syndrome characterized by bilateral microtia, aplasia/hypoplasia of the patellae, and severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation with short stature and poor weight gain. Additional clinical findings include anomalies of cranial sutures, microcephaly, apparently low-set and simple ears, microstomia, full lips, highly arched or cleft palate, micrognathia, genitourinary tract anomalies, and various skeletal anomalies. While almost all cases have primordial dwarfism with substantial prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, not all cases have microcephaly, and microtia and absent/hypoplastic patella are absent in some. Despite the presence of microcephaly, intellect is usually normal. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the ORC6 family.
