Short Name | MCM6 |
description | In eukaryotes, Mcm6 is a component of the MCM2-7 complex (MCM complex), which consists of six sequence-related AAA + type ATPases/helicases that form a hetero-hexameric ring []. MCM2-7 complex is part of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC). In G1 phase, inactive MCM2-7 complex is loaded onto origins of DNA replication [, , ]. During G1-S phase, MCM2-7 complex is activated to unwind the double stranded DNA and plays an important role in DNA replication forks elongation [].The components of the MCM2-7 complex are: DNA replication licensing factor MCM2, DNA replication licensing factor MCM3, DNA replication licensing factor MCM4, DNA replication licensing factor MCM5, DNA replication licensing factor MCM6, DNA replication licensing factor MCM7, |
