Eukaryotic chromosomes replicate from multiple discrete loci termed origins of replication. These sites are first recognised by the origin recognition complex (ORC), which, together with Cdc6 and Cdt1 ...
If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...
From the Bedalov Lab, Translational Science and Therapeutics and Human Biology Divisions When I asked Foss and Bedalov whether the known replication origins in yeast shared any sequence-level features ...
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging of DNA replication origin activation explains the role of Mcm10, a minichromosome maintenance (MCM) protein homolog, during initiation. Mcm10 acts as a wedge ...
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...
