Function

Depletion of ORC1, ORC4, ORC6, CDT1 and CDC6 resulted in dramatically impaired cilia formation similar to ORC1-deficient patient cells ( 23516378). DNA ligase 1 was detected in the isolated flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in a global phosphoproteome study (Wang et al., 2014, Mol Cell Proteomics, PMID 24917610). This is weak evidence: LIG1 is a ubiquitous DNA replication and repair enzyme.
