Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA clamp loader activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA damage checkpoint signaling; DNA repair; and mitotic DNA replication checkpoint signaling. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Orthologous to human RAD17 (RAD17 checkpoint clamp loader component).
WB Description
hpr-17 encodes the C. elegans homolog of the S. pombe Rad17p and S. cerevisiae Rad24p DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint proteins.
