Gene Ontology Help

DBF4-dependent CDC7 kinase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Serine/threonine-protein kinase essential for the initiation of DNA replication and commitment of meiotic cells to reductional chromosome segregation in meiosis I. Associates with replication origins where it phosphorylates components of the prereplicative complex including the MCM helicase (CPX-2944). Has post-replicative functions in meiosis and is essential for double-strand break formation and kinetochore localization of monopolin.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
