Origins of DNA replication are licensed by recruiting MCM2-7 to assemble the prereplicative complex (pre-RC). How MCM2-7 is inactivated or removed from chromatin at the end of S phase is still unclear. Here, we show that MCM-BP can disassemble the MCM2-7 complex and might function as an unloader of MCM2-7 from chromatin. In Xenopus egg extracts, MCM-BP exists in a stable complex with MCM7, but ...

The members of the MCM protein family are essential eukaryotic DNA replication factors that form a six-member protein complex. In this study, we use antibodies to four MCM proteins to investigate the structure of and requirements for the formation of fission yeast MCM complexes in vivo, with particular regard to Cdc19p (MCM2). Gel filtration analysis shows that the MCM protein complexes are uns...

in this study, optimized adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (oanfis) was employed on a set of daily, weekly, 10-days and monthly data of inflow water into the alavian dam to predict the real-time inflow of the reservoir. sequential and exhaustive search algorithms were used to determine the numbers and time steps of the model inputs and also reducing the prediction’s errors. in sequential se...

MCM-41 based catalysts (molar ratio Si/Al = 40) were prepared by a hydrothermal route, modified ionic exchange with different metals (Cu, Cr, Fe and Zn) finally calcined at 550 °C. The fully characterized techniques that confirmed the formation of oxides on surfaces all materials. Low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed calcination resulted in incorporation metallic Zn, Cr framework M...

The minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex is a replicative helicase, which is essential for chromosome DNA replication. In recent years, the identification of a novel MCM-binding protein (MCM-BP) in most eukaryotes has led to numerous studies investigating its function and its relationship to the MCM complex. However, the mechanisms by which MCM-BP functions and associates with MCM complexes...
