ID:ERC6L_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DNA excision repair protein ERCC-6-like; EC=3.6.4.12; AltName: Full=ATP-dependent helicase ERCC6-like; AltName: Full=PLK1-interacting checkpoint helicase; AltName: Full=Tumor antigen BJ-HCC-15; FUNCTION: DNA helicase that acts as an essential component of the spindle assembly checkpoint. Contributes to the mitotic checkpoint by recruiting MAD2 to kinetochores and monitoring tension on centromeric chromatin. Acts as a tension sensor that associates with catenated DNA which is stretched under tension until it is resolved during anaphase. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate. SUBUNIT: Interacts with PLK1, which phosphorylates it. Both proteins are mutually dependent on each other for correct subcellular localization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Localizes to kinetochores, inner centromeres and thin threads connecting separating chromosomes even during anaphase. In prometaphase cells, it mostly concentrates in between kinetochores. In metaphase, it localizes to numerous thin threads that stretch between sister kinetochores of the aligned chromosomes and are composed of catenated centromeric DNA. Evolution from inner centromeres to thin threads takes place in response to tension. Resolution of thin threads requires topoisomerase 2-alpha (TOP2A) after anaphase onset. PTM: Phosphorylation by PLK1 prevents the association with chromosome arms and restricts its localization to the kinetochore- centromere region. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 TPR repeats. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAM82750.1; Type=Erroneous termination; Positions=803; Note=Translated as Lys; Sequence=BAA90952.1; Type=Erroneous termination; Positions=803; Note=Translated as Lys;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
