MCM2_N

MCM2_N
PFAM accession number:PF12619
Interpro abstract (IPR008045):

In addition to its role in initiation of DNA replication, Mcm2 is able to inhibit the Mcm4,6,7 helicase. Studies on murine Mcm2 indicate that its C terminus is required for interaction with MCM4, as well as for inhibition of the DNA helicase activity of the Mcm4,6,7 complex. The N-terminal region, which contains an H3-binding domain and a region required for nuclear localisation, is required for the phosphorylation by CDC7 kinase.

The MCM2-7 complex consists of six closely related proteins that are highly conserved throughout the eukaryotic kingdom. In eukaryotes, Mcm2 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 [ (PUBMED:17506634) ]. 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 [ (PUBMED:19896182) (PUBMED:19910535) (PUBMED:22841721) ]. 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 [ (PUBMED:22841721) ].

The components of the MCM2-7 complex are:
