Summary: Enables GTPase activator activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in DNA replication initiation; mitotic cell cycle; and septin cytoskeleton organization. Located in nucleus; plasma membrane; and septin cytoskeleton. Part of nuclear origin of replication recognition complex. Is expressed in several structures, including antennal primordium; central brain primordium; ganglia; head epidermis primordium; and ventral nerve cord primordium. Used to study Meier-Gorlin syndrome 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 3. Orthologous to human ORC6 (origin recognition complex subunit 6).

What's a GeneRIF?

The interaction of the Drosophila ENY2 protein with the ORC complex subunits was investigated. It is found that ORC4 and ORC6 subunits directly interact with ENY2.
Title: Identification of the ORC Complex Subunits That Can Interact with the ENY2 Protein of Drosophila melanogaster.
In order to study the effects of Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGS) mutation in an animal model system, MGS mutation in Orc6 was introduced and established Drosophila model of MGS.
Title: Drosophila model of Meier-Gorlin syndrome based on the mutation in a conserved C-Terminal domain of Orc6.
Drosophila Orc6 protein, the smallest subunit of the origin recognition complex (ORC), directly binds to septin complex and facilitates septin filament formation.
Title: Functional insight into the role of Orc6 in septin complex filament formation in Drosophila.
In a cross-species complementation experiment, the expression of human Orc6 in Drosophila Orc6 mutant cells rescued DNA replication, suggesting that this function of the protein is conserved among metazoans.
Title: Functional analysis of an Orc6 mutant in Drosophila.
These results show that the interaction of Orc6 with the septin complex is dependent on the coiled-coil domain of Pnut, and suggest an active role for Orc6 in septin complex function.
Title: Drosophila Orc6 facilitates GTPase activity and filament formation of the septin complex.
Drosophila ORC6 protein cytokinetic function resides in a domain distinct from its replication activity
Title: A cytokinetic function of Drosophila ORC6 protein resides in a domain distinct from its replication activity.
These studies provide a molecular analysis for the functional requirement of Orc6 in replicative functions of ORC in Drosophila and suggest that Orc6 may contribute to the sequence preferences of ORC in targeting to the origins.
Title: Role of the Orc6 protein in origin recognition complex-dependent DNA binding and replication in Drosophila melanogaster.
