additional information MCM3 binds ATP and possess ATPase and ATP-dependent helicase activities. AtMCM3 shows a greater unwinding activity with 5' forked partial DNA duplex substrate as compared to 3' forked and non-forked substrates. ATP and magnesium ion are indispensable for its DNA helicase activity. Specifically, ATP and dATP are the preferred nucleotides for its unwinding activity. The directionality of the AtMCM3 is in 3' to 5' direction. The helicase activity is determined by strand displacement assay using oligomeric ds DNA substrate. Other nucleotides such as CTP, GTP, UTP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP do not support DNA unwinding by AtMCM3. Thus, the AtMCM3 specifically utilizes only ATP or dATP for the in vitro helicase activity Arabidopsis thaliana ?

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the formation of prereplicative complex (pre-RC) is a requisite for the DNA replication initiation in eukaryotes. The pre-RC is composed of several replication factors which includes origin recognition complex (ORC), cell division cycle 6 (Cdc6), Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (Cdt1), and minichromosome maintenance 2-7 (MCM2-7) complex. The subcomplex MCM4/6/7 possess in vitro helicase activity, while the MCM3 single subunit shows in vitro unwinding and ATPase activities Arabidopsis thaliana
