Species

Gene product

Features

S. cerevisiae

Sld3

Binds to Cdc45, GINS and Dpb11. Phosphorylation at T600 and S622 by CDK is essential for initiation.

Phosphorylated Sld3 binds Dpb11 N-terminus. Alanine-substitution mutant is lethal. [5, 6]

S. pombe

Sld3

Required for initiation (Cdc45 loading). Chromatin loading of Sld3 depends on DDK but not CDK. [24]
