Abstract excerpt
Origin recognition complex (ORC), a candidate initiator of chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotes, binds specifically to ATP through two of its subunits (Orc1p and Orc5p). In this study, we investigated the kinetics of ATP binding to ORC by a filter binding assay. The Kd values for the ATP of wild-type ORC and ORC-1A (mutant ORC containing Orc1p with a defective Walker A motif) were less than 10 nm, suggesting...
