Abstract excerpt
MCM proteins are a conserved family of eukaryotic replication factors implicated in the initiation of DNA replication and in the discrimination between replicated and unreplicated chromatin. However, most mcm mutants in yeast arrest the cell cycle after bulk DNA synthesis has occurred. We investigated the basis for this late S phase arrest by analyzing the effects of a temperature-sensitive mutation in fission...
