NP_009530.1

EC 3.6.4.12

Protein involved in DNA replication; component of the Mcm2-7 hexameric helicase complex that binds chromatin as a part of the pre-replicative complex; binds and transfers parental H3-H4 to Pol32p facilitating the transfer of parental histones to the lagging strand via Pol1p during DNA replication; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
