Potential role of Cdc6 at the initiation of DNA replication.[2]
Minichromosome maintenance protein complex (MCM) is a eukaryotic DNA helicase complex required for the process of DNA replication, specifically the formation and elongation of the replication fork. It is a hexamer of six related polypeptides (MCM2 through MCM7) that form a ring structure.[3][4][5] MCM is a component of the pre-replication complex that forms at the eukryotic origin of replication.
