CDC45-Related Protein Definition

CDC45-Related Protein, encoded by the CDC45L gene, was identified by its strong similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc45, an essential protein required to the initiation of DNA replication. Cdc45 is a member of the highly conserved multiprotein complex including Cdc6/Cdc18, the minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCMs) and DNA polymerase, which is important for early steps of DNA replication in eukaryotes. CDC45-Related Protein has been shown to interact with MCM7 and DNA polymerase alpha. Studies of the similar gene in Xenopus suggest that this protein play a pivotal role in the loading of DNA polymerase alpha onto chromatin. (from LocusLink)
