The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a highly conserved
six subunits 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. This protein forms a core complex with
ORC3, -4, and -5. It also interacts with CDC45 and MCM10, which are
proteins known to be important for the initiation of DNA
replication. This protein has been demonstrated to specifically
associate with the origin of replication of Epstein-Barr virus in
human cells, and is thought to be required for DNA replication from
viral origin of replication. Alternatively spliced transcript
variants have been found, one of which is a nonsense-mediated mRNA
decay candidate.1) Huen, M.S., et al. Cell 131(5):901-914(2007)
