Abstract
A family of six homologous subunits, Mcm2, -3, -4, -5, -6, and -7, each with its own unique features, forms the catalytic core of the eukaryotic replicative helicase. The necessity of six similar but non-identical subunits has been a mystery since its initial discovery. Recent cryo-EM structures of the Mcm2-7 (MCM) double hexamer, its precursors, and the origin recognition complex (ORC)-Cdc6-Cdt1-Mcm2-7 (OCCM) intermediate showed that each of these subunits plays a distinct role in orchestrating the assembly of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC) by ORC-Cdc6 and Cdt1.Entities:
