Protein Variants
| EC Number | Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.6.2.4 | additional information | a mutation of the MCM N-terminal beta-hairpin reduces but does not abolish DNA binding and helicase activity | Saccharolobus solfataricus |
| 5.6.2.4 | additional information | a mutation of the zinc finger motif of the MCM protein reduces single-stranded and double-stranded DNA binding and abolishes helicase activity. Removal of the HTH domain from the MCM protein results in an enzyme with increased ATPase and helicase activity. A mutation of the MCM N-terminal beta-hairpin completely abolishes DNA binding and helicase activity | Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus |

| 5.6.2.4 | ATP + H2O | Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus | during chromosomal DNA replication, the replicative helicase unwinds the duplex DNA to provide the single-stranded DNA substrate for the polymerase. In archaea, the replicative helicase is the minichromosome maintenance complex. The enzyme utilizes the energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate along one strand of the duplex and unwind the complementary strand | ADP + phosphate | - |

| 5.6.2.4 | ATP + H2O | ATP-dependent 3'-5' helicase activity. During chromosomal DNA replication, the replicative helicase unwinds the duplex DNA to provide the single-stranded DNA substrate for the polymerase. In archaea, the replicative helicase is the minichromosome maintenance complex. The enzyme utilizes the energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate along one strand of the duplex and unwind the complementary strand. ATP binding enhances DNA binding by the helicase. ATPase activity is substantially enhanced in presence of DNA. MCM protein binds DNA ends better than long circular substrates | Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus | ADP + phosphate | - |
