A conserved Mcm4 motif is required for Mcm2-7 double-hexamer formation and origin DNA unwinding
Licensing of eukaryotic origins of replication requires DNA loading of two copies of the McM2-7 replicative helicase to form a head-to-head double-hexamer, ensuring activated helicases depart the origin bidirectionally. To understand the formation and importance of this double-hexamer, we identified...
