Description

origin recognition complex subunit 1

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and DNA replication origin binding activity. Involved in maintenance of rDNA; pre-replicative complex assembly involved in nuclear cell cycle DNA replication; and silent mating-type cassette heterochromatin formation. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication initiation and nucleosome organization. Located in nucleus. Part of DNA replication preinitiation complex; nuclear origin of replication recognition complex; and nuclear pre-replicative complex. Used to study Meier-Gorlin syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 1. Orthologous to human ORC1 (origin recognition complex subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
