General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Acts as component of the mcm2-7 complex (mcm complex) which is the putative replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. 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. Required for the entry in S phase and for cell division. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.7 |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate. |
| Subunit structure | Component of the mcm2-7 complex (RLF-M). The complex forms a toroidal hexameric ring with the proposed subunit order mcm2-mcm6-mcm4-mcm7-mcm3-mcm5 (By simililarity). Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.7 |
| Subcellular location | Nucleus. Note: Associated with chromatin before the formation of nuclei and detaches from it as DNA replication progresses. Ref.2 Ref.4 |
| Post-translational modification | May be in a phosphorylated state in the mitotic mcm complex. Phosphorylated in the interphase mcm complex. Phosphorylated by the cdc7-dbf4 and cdc7-dbf4b complexes. Ref.6 Ref.8 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the MCM family. Contains 1 MCM domain. |
