[CDC63_SULSO] Involved in regulation of DNA replication. May play essential roles in origin recognition and cell cycle control of replication. Binds to DNA, with a preference for molecules that contain a bubble, a fork, or a tail. Inhibits the binding of the MCM helicase to the origin DNA and inhibits its DNA helicase activity. Also regulates the DNA polymerase and the nuclease activities of PolB1. Inhibits the DNA-binding activity of Cdc6-1 and Cdc6-2.[1][2][3][4] [CDC61_SULSO] Involved in regulation of DNA replication. May play essential roles in origin recognition and cell cycle control of replication. Binds to DNA, with a preference for molecules that contain a bubble, a fork, or a tail. Inhibits the binding of the MCM helicase to the origin DNA and strongly inhibits its DNA helicase activity. Also regulates the DNA polymerase and the nuclease activities of PolB1. Stimulates the DNA-binding activity of Cdc6-3.[5][6][7][8]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The faithful duplication of genetic material depends on essential DNA replication initiation factors. Cellular initiators form higher-order assemblies on replication origins, using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to locally remodel duplex DNA and facilitate proper loading of synthetic replisomal components. To better understand initiator function, we determined the 3.4 angstrom-resolution structure of an archaeal Cdc6/Orc1 heterodimer bound to origin DNA. The structure demonstrates that, in addition to conventional DNA binding elements, initiators use their AAA+ ATPase domains to recognize origin DNA. Together these interactions establish the polarity of initiator assembly on the origin and induce substantial distortions into origin DNA strands. Biochemical and comparative analyses indicate that AAA+/DNA contacts observed in the structure are dynamic and evolutionarily conserved, suggesting that the complex forms a core component of the basal initiation machinery.
