DESCRIPTION

Also known as KIN17_HUMAN, KIN, BTCD, KIN17. Involved in DNA replication and the cellular response to DNA damage. May participate in DNA replication factories and create a bridge between DNA replication and repair mediated by high molecular weight complexes. May play a role in illegitimate recombination and regulation of gene expression. May participate in mRNA processing. Binds, in vitro, to double-stranded DNA. Also shown to bind preferentially to curved DNA in vitro and in vivo (By similarity). Binds via its C-terminal domain to RNA in vitro. Associated with DNA polymerase alpha, RFC1 and cyclin A, in multiprotein DNA replication complexes. Also associates with replication origins at the G1/S phase boundary and throughout the S phase in vivo.
