C-terminal domain of the eukaryotic origin recognition complex subunit ORC6 In eukaryotes, a complex consisting of six subunits promotes the onset of DNA replication. The 6th subunit, ORC6, does not belong to the wider AAA+ family of nucleotide hydrolases, but contains a tandemly repeated domain resembling the transcription factor TFIIB, as well as this C-terminal domain which harbors a helical segment that is responsible for interactions with the complex by binding to ORC3. Mutations in this C-terminal helix interfere with the formation of the ORC and have been linked to Meier-Gorlin syndrome, a dwarfism disorder.
