DNA–protein interactions at groups of replication origins

Name Definition Species Interaction Refs
Abf1 ARS-binding factor 1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Interacts with yeast replication origins in a sequence-specific manner 94
Fkh1 and Fkh2 Forkhead box protein 1 and forkhead box protein 2 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Bind a subset of yeast replication origins (Fkh1 only binds origins that initiate replication early), regulate initiation timing by clustering and participate in long-range chromatin interactions 96
RB–E2F complex A multiprotein complex containing a heterodimeric E2F transcription factor and an RB family member Drosophila melanogaster Interacts with ORCs and selectively binds replication origins at the chorion gene locus 105
MYB–MUVB Part of the DREAM–MYB–MUVB complex containing RB Drosophila melanogaster Interacts with ORCs, binds amplified replication origins and recruits histone acetylases 106
XRCC5 X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 5 (also known as KU80) Human Interacts with primate replication origins in the G1 phase and with replication proteins 175
HOXC13 Homeobox protein HOXC13 Human Binds the human LMNB2 replication origin of the gene encoding human lamin and interacts with the pre-replication complex in a cell-cycle-dependent manner 120
DUEB DNA-unwinding element-binding protein B Human Binds DNA-unwinding elements at replication origins in the human MYC, LMNB2 and SCA10 loci, and interacts with pre-replication complexes at those sites 176
ORCA Origin recognition complex-associated protein Human Associates with human ORCs and stabilizes them on chromatin, and binds HP1 and H3K9me3 132
RepID Replication-initiation determinant Human Binds to a group of human replication origins and is essential for their activation 115
LMO2 LIM domain only protein 2 (also known as rhombotin 2) Human Interacts with replication proteins and associates with some origins at promoters in human erythroleukaemic cells 177
H3K79me2 Dimethylated histone H3 lysine 79 Human Binds a group of human replication origins and is required for limiting replication such that it occurs only once per cell cycle 58
GRWD1 Glutamate-rich WD40-repeat-containing protein 1 Human Binds histones, CDT1 and CDC6 in human cells, colocalizes with CDC6 on chromatin and is required for MCM loading 117
HBO1 Histone acetyltransferase binding to ORC1 (also known as KAT7) Human Interacts with human CDT1 to activate replication origins 60, 112
RECQL4 RECQ-like DNA helicase type 4 Human Recruited to the origins at the human LMNB2, HBB and CSF2 loci, and is required for origin binding of MCM10 and CTF4 110, 111
BRPF3 Bromodomain and PHD-finger-containing protein 3 Human Interacts with HBO1 to activate replication origins in open chromatin regions (for example, near TSSs) via histone acetylation 60

ARS, autonomously replicating sequence; CDC6, cell division control protein 6; CSF2, colony stimulating factor 2; CTF4, chromosome transmission fidelity protein 4 (also known as DNA polymerase α-binding protein); DREAM, DRE-antagonist modulator (also known as calsenilin); HBB, haemoglobin subunit-β; HP1, heterochromatin protein 1; LMNB2, lamin B2; MCM, minichromosome maintenance; MUVB, Drosophila orthologue of human RB; ORC, origin recognition complex; PHD, PH domain; RB, retinoblastoma-associated protein; SCA10, spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 protein (also known as ataxin 10); TSS, transcription start site.
