Human ORC1 can associate with DNA origin of replication sites independently of other origin of replication complex (ORC) subunits (Hoshina et al. 2013; Eladl et al. 2021). Most human replication origins contain guanine (G)-rich sequences which may form G-quadruplex (G4) structures (Besnard et al. 2012). The region of human ORC1 involving amino acids 413-511 preferentially binds to G4 structures in the DNA over double-stranded DNA. G4 structures are retained even after ORC1 binding, suggesting that they may mediate recognition of replication origins by ORC1 (Hoshina et al. 2013; Eladl et al. 2021). Besides binding to nucleosome-free replication origin DNA, ORC1 interacts with neighboring nucleosomes (Hizume et al. 2013). The interaction of ORC1 with nucleosomes may require specific epigenetic marks on nucleosomes, and may be disrupted by ORC1 mutations associated with the Meier-Gorlin Syndrome (Zhang et al. 2015). In particular, a bromo adjacent homology (BAH) domain of ORC1 has been shown to bind to histone H4 dimethylated at lysine 21 (H4K20me2 mark), which is enriched at replication origins. Binding of ORC1 to H4K20me2 facilitates ORC1 binding to replication origins and ORC chromatin loading (Kuo et al. 2012, Zhang et al. 2015).

ORC1 localizes to condensed chromosomes during early mitosis (M phase) and serves as a nucleating center for the assembly of the ORC and, subsequently, the pre-replication complex. ORC1 remains associated with late replication origins throughout late G1. Upon S phase entry, ORC1 undergoes ubiquitin-mediated degradation, leading to dissociation of the ORC from chromatin (Kara et al. 2015).
