NCIt definition : DNA replication licensing factor MCM5 (734 aa, 82 kDa) is encoded by the human MCM5
gene. This protein plays a role in DNA replication.;
NCIt note : A stable dimeric complex of MCM5/MCM3 associates with replication-specific DNA polymerase
alpha-primase complex. MCM3 is acetylated by MCM3AP. MCM proteins also associate with
RNA Pol II holoenzyme as components of the transcriptional apparatus. MCM5 interacts
directly with the TAD of STAT1, enhancing transcription activation.;
