Mechanisms for licensing origins of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells
The initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells begins with the assembly of pre-replicative complexes (pre-RCs) at many sites along each chromosome during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Pre-RCs license each chromosome for duplication during S phase and mark the origins of DNA replication. In this Review, we discuss and contextualize recent findings identifying the mechanisms of origin recognition and pre-RC assembly mediated by the origin recognition complex (ORC), Cdc6 and the Mcm2–Mcm7 (Mcm2-7) hexamer bound to Cdt1. We also present comprehensive videos that demonstrate the multiple mechanisms for pre-RC assembly and compare the structures of the complexes involved in human and Saccharomycescerevisiae cells.
