[摘要]:The Mcm2-7 complex, the catalytic core of the eukaryotic replicative DNA helicase, undergoes a complex series of transformations at origins of DNA replication. During G1 phase, it is loaded around double-strand DNA at origins as an inactive double hexamer, which is subsequently remodelled in situ to activate the helicase during S phase. Work in this issue of The EMBO Journal sheds light on the role of the Cdt1 protein in generating Mcm2-7 double hexamers during the loading reaction. |
