Other comments

Sc

•Dpb11 and Sld3 required for GINS chromatin association (1)

•Bud dynamics normal (17) or odd (1)

 

Sp

•Functions downstream of Pre-RC formation, and Sld3 chromatin association. Required for chromatin association of Drc1, Cdc45 and pol epsilon ( gives order of loading reative to sld2 sld3 and cdc45 (18) , (16)

•Psf2 overexpression suppresses bir1/cut17 chromosome segregation defects (7)

 

Xl

•Cut5 (probable Dpb11 homologue) required for GINS chromatin association  (2)

•May function as DNA helicase (‘unwindosome’) complex with Mcm2-7 and Cdc45 (19)
