By phosphorylating specific replication factors, cell cycle kinases ensure that eukaryotic DNA replication is initiated once and only once per mitotic cell division. New work in now reveals how DDK‐mediated phosphorylation of Mcm2‐7 helicase subunits is read out by Sld3, which provides further integration with CDK phosphorylation.
通过磷酸化特定的复制因子,细胞周期激酶确保真核生物DNA复制在每个有丝分裂细胞分裂中仅起始一次。目前的新研究揭示了Sld3如何读取由DDK介导的Mcm2 - 7解旋酶亚基的磷酸化作用,这进一步实现了与CDK磷酸化的整合。
