Abstract excerpt
The original mcm1-1 mutant was identified by its inability to propagate minichromosomes in an ARS-specific manner, suggesting that it is defective in the initiation of DNA synthesis at ARSs. This mutant is also defective in expression of alpha-mating-type-specific genes. Further genetic and biochemical studies confirmed that Mcm1 is a transcription factor that mediates the transcriptional regulation of a number...
