Structural mechanism for replication origin binding and remodeling by a metazoan origin recognition complex and its co-loader Cdc6

The origin recognition complex (ORC) is essential for loading the Mcm2–7 replicative helicase onto DNA during DNA replication initiation. Here, the authors describe several cryo-electron microscopy structures of Drosophila ORC bound to DNA and its cofactor Cdc6 and also report an in vitro reconstitu...
