Minichromosome maintenance helicases are ring-shaped complexes that play an essential role in archaeal and eukaryal DNA replication by separating the two strands of chromosomal DNA to provide the single-stranded substrate for the replicative polymerases. For the archaeal protein it was shown that the N-terminal portion of the protein, which is composed of domains A, B, and C, is involved in multimer formation and...
