Cellular location and expression

Sc

appears to bind to chromatin after pre-RC formation, ie requires Mcm2-7 for chromatin binding. (12)

•level doesn’t vary much in the cell cycle. (8)

•bound to chromatin throughout the cell cycle. (8)

•binding needs mcm2-7 and moves with the replication fork (12)

 

Xl

•appears to bind to chromatin after pre-RC formation, ie requires Mcm2-7 for chromatin binding. (22)

 

Dm

 

Mammals

• nuclear in g1 and s. dissociation in g2 (17)

• chromatin loading pattern like pcna (19)

• doesn’t colocalise BrdU (19)

 

Other comments

Sc

 • 40-60x more abundant than orc (8)

• self associates into large complexes > 800kDa in vitro (4)

• needed for cdc45 chromatin binding (10)

• needed for DNA pol alpha chromatin association also needed to stabilise DNApol alpha catalytic subunit, same abundance as other mcms. (12)

 

Sp

•Required for Cdc45 chromatin binding (23)

•Functionally conserved between Sc and Sp 

(24)

 

Xl

 • Required for Cdc45 chromatin binding. 2 molecules per origin loaded (22)

• not required for mcm loading

 

Dm

•Functionally conserved between Sc and Dm

(25)

 

Mammals

• 5-10 copies per origin (26)

• e2f sites in promoter (27)
