The active ATPase sites in the MCM2-7 ring are formed through the interaction surfaces of two neighboring subunits such that a critical structure of a conserved arginine finger motif is provided in trans relative to the ATP-binding site of the Walker A box of the adjacent subunit. The six ATPase active sites, however, are likely to contribute differentially to the complex helicase activity. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The minichromosome maintenance (Mcm) 2-7 complex is the replicative helicase in eukaryotic species, and it plays essential roles in the initiation and elongation phases of DNA replication. During late M and early G(1), the Mcm2-7 complex is loaded onto chromatin to form prereplicative complex in a Cdt1-dependent manner. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of this loading process is still elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that the previously uncharacterized C-terminal domain of human Mcm6 is the Cdt1 binding domain (CBD) and present its high resolution NMR structure. The structure of CBD exhibits a typical "winged helix" fold that is generally involved in protein-nucleic acid interaction. Nevertheless, the CBD failed to interact with DNA in our studies, indicating that it is specific for protein-protein interaction. The CBD-Cdt1 interaction involves the helix-turn-helix motif of CBD. The results reported here provide insight into the molecular mechanism of Mcm2-7 chromatin loading and prereplicative complex assembly.
