DNA replication licensing factor MCM5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM5 gene.

Contents

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is structurally very similar to the CDC46 protein from S. cerevisiae, a protein involved in the initiation of DNA replication. The encoded protein is a member of the MCM family of chromatin-binding proteins and can interact with at least two other members of this family. The encoded protein is upregulated in the transition from the G0 to G1/S phase of the cell cycle and may actively participate in cell cycle regulation.

Interactions

MCM5 has been shown to interact with:

  • Cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase,
  • MCM2,
  • MCM3,
  • MCM7,
  • ORC2L,
  • ORC6L, and
  • STAT1.
