The Cdc6 proteins from the archaeon Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus were previously shown to bind double-stranded DNA. It is shown here that the proteins also bind single-stranded DNA. Using minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase mutant proteins unable to bind DNA, it was found that the interaction of MCM with Cdc6 inhibits the DNA binding activity of Cdc6.
先前已表明,嗜热栖热甲烷杆菌古菌中的Cdc6蛋白可结合双链DNA。本文表明,这些蛋白也能结合单链DNA。利用无法结合DNA的微小染色体维持(MCM)解旋酶突变蛋白,研究发现MCM与Cdc6的相互作用会抑制Cdc6的DNA结合活性。
