A new class of disordered elements controls DNA replication through initiator self-assembly

A new class of disordered elements controls DNA replication through initiator self-assembly

The initiation of DNA replication in metazoans occurs at thousands of chromosomal sites known as origins. At each origin, the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC), Cdc6, and Cdt1 co-assemble to load the Mcm2-7 replicative helicase onto chromatin. Current replication models envisage a linear arrangement...
