DNA excision repair protein ERCC-6-like (ERCC6L)

DNA helicase that serves as an important component of the spindle assembly checkpoint. Contributes to the mitotic checkpoint by recruitment MAD2 to kinetochores and observation tension on centromeric chromatin (PubMed:17218258).

Acts as a tension sensor that partners with catenated DNA which is stretched under tension until it is solved during anaphase (PubMed:17218258, PubMed:23973328). Functions as ATP-dependent DNA translocase (PubMed:23973328, PubMed:28977671).
