DNA helicase MCM9 (Mcm9)

Part of the MCM8-MCM9 complex, a complex involved in homologous recombination repair following DNA interstrand cross-links and plays an integral role during gametogenesis. The MCM8- MCM9 complex probably acts as a hexameric helicase downstream of the Fanconi anemia proteins BRCA2 and RAD51 and is required to process aberrant forks into homologous recombination substrates and to orchestrate homologous recombination with resection, fork insertion and fork restart.
