Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotes have six minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins that are essential for DNA replication. The contribution of ATPase activity of MCM complexes to their function in replication is poorly understood. We have established a cell-free system competent for replication in which all MCM proteins are supplied by purified recombinant Xenopus MCM complexes. Recombinant MCM2-7 complex was able to assemble onto...
