Humanizing the yeast origin recognition complex
In most model yeast species the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) binds defined and species-specific base sequences while in humans what determines the binding appears to be more complex. Here the authors reveal that the yeast’s ORC complex binding specificity is dependent on a 19-amino acid insertio...

description | In most model yeast species the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) binds defined and species-specific base sequences while in humans what determines the binding appears to be more complex. Here the authors reveal that the yeast’s ORC complex binding specificity is dependent on a 19-amino acid insertion helix in the Orc4 subunit which is lost in human. |
