Significance Origin recognition complex (ORC) is required for the initiation of DNA replication. Unlike other ORC components, the role of human Orc6 in replication remains to be resolved. We identified an unexpected role for hOrc6, which is to promote S-phase progression after prereplication complex assembly and DNA damage response. Orc6 localizes at the replication fork, is an accessory factor of the mismatch repair complex, and plays a fundamental role in genome surveillance during S phase.
