Stabilization of expandable DNA repeats by the replication factor Mcm10 promotes cell viability
Trinucleotide repeats, including Friedreich’s ataxia (GAA)n repeats, become pathogenic upon expansions during DNA replication and repair. Here, we show that deficiency of the essential replisome component Mcm10 dramatically elevates (GAA)n repeat ...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating malignancy with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of approximately 12%. More than 90% of PDAC patients harbor oncogenic mutations in the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral homolog (KRAS) gene.

Archaeal and eukaryotic MCM rings sequentially melt DNA for replication initiation
DNA replication initiation requires local melting of fully base-paired DNA for a helicase to gain a foothold and initiate processive DNA unwinding. In eukaryotes and archaea, the helicase engine is the hexameric ring minichromosome maintenance (MCM ...

Competition for the nascent leading strand shapes the requirements for PCNA loading in the replisome
During DNA replication, the DNA polymerases Pol δ and Pol ε utilise the ring-shaped sliding clamp PCNA to enhance their processivity. PCNA loading onto DNA is accomplished by the clamp loaders RFC and Ctf18-RFC, which function primarily on the lagging ...

p68 RNA helicase - identification of a nucleolar form and cloning of related genes containing a conserved intron in yeasts [PDF]
The human p68 protein is an RNA-dependent ATPase and RNA helicase which was first identified because of its immunological cross-reaction with a viral RNA helicase, simian virus 40 large T antigen.

<div>Abstract<p>The human CMG helicase (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) is a novel target for anticancer therapy. Tumor-specific weaknesses in the CMG are caused by oncogene-driven changes that adversely affect CMG function, and CMG activity is required for recovery from replicative stresses such as chemotherapy.
