cdc-6 encodes a homolog of an origin complex component (CDC6) which in yeast controls the start of DNA replication, and also has a distant paralog (Y39A1A.12) within the C. elegans genome; CDC-6 is superficially dispensable for embryonic viability, perhaps because of redundancy with Y39A1A.12.
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and ATP hydrolysis activity. Predicted to be involved in mitotic DNA replication checkpoint signaling. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleolus. Expressed in seam cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 5. Is an ortholog of human CDC6 (cell division cycle 6).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
