NOMENCLATURE CONFLICT NOTE

NameRelevanceDescription
POL3Nomenclature conflictCDC6/YJL194W encodes an ATPase required for DNA replication and is homologous to pombe cdc18. Do not confuse CDC6/YJL194W with the S. pombe cdc6 gene, which encodes a DNA polymerase delta subunit and is similar to the S. cerevisiae POL3/YDL102W.
SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for CDC6

Cdc6p is an unstable protein (5) that is required for the assembly and maintenance of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) (5, 6, 7). The pre-RC is an assembly of proteins that forms at origins of DNA replication between late M phase and the G1/S transition and includes proteins believed to act in DNA replication initiation (8, 9, 10, 6, 11). In pre-RC formation, Cdc6p acts as a loading factor for the Mcm2-7 proteins (encoded by MCM2, MCM3, CDC54, CDC46, MCM6, and CDC47)(8). Both CDC6 mRNA and protein levels peak at the M/G1 transition, when pre-RCs are formed; de novo Cdc6p synthesis is required for each round of DNA replication (12, 13, 5). Transcriptional repression of CDC6 prevents both pre-RC formation and initiation of DNA synthesis. cdc6 temperature-sensitive mutants are defective in replication initiation (14, 15); established pre-RCs are thermolabile in a cdc6 temperature-sensitive mutant. Cdc6p must be present before late G1 to permit pre-RC formation (16). Cdc6p homologs are required for DNA replication early in S phase in S. pombe (Cdc18; 17) and Xenopus (18). Cdc6p and its homologs also show sequence similarity to subunits of eukaryotic and prokaryotic clamp-loaders such as RFC, which load ring-shaped DNA polymerase processivity factors onto DNA (19). All Cdc6p homologues contain a bipartite Walker ATP-binding motif and the phenotypes of mutations in the Walker A motif suggest that nucleotide binding is important for establishing the prereplicative complex at replication origins (19, 20) .
