Structured_description
| Provisional_description | pcn-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an acidic protein that is an essential component of the DNA replication and repair machinery and serves as a processivity factor for DNA polymerase delta; PCN-1 is required for early embryogenesis and for proper germ-line development, and directly interacts with CKI-2, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor homolog that may be required for cell cycle progression during embryogenesis, and with ATL-1/PI3K, KIN-20, MRT-2/RAD1, and RFC-1, proteins that all play a role in the DNA damage checkpoint pathway; PCN-1 is highly expressed in ovaries and developing embryos. |
