???displayArticle.abstract??? Mcm10 is an essential eukaryotic factor required for DNA replication. The replication fork helicase is composed of Cdc45, Mcm2-7 and GINS (CMG). DDK is an S-phase-specific kinase required for replication initiation, and the DNA primase-polymerase in eukaryotes is pol α. Mcm10 forms oligomers in vitro, mediated by the coiled-coil domain at the N-terminal region of the protein. We characterized an Mcm10 mutant at the N-terminal Domain (NTD), Mcm10-4A, defective for self-interaction. We found that the Mcm10-4A mutant was defective for stimulating DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2, binding to eighty-nucleotide ssDNA, and recruiting pol α to Mcm2-7 in vitro. Expression of wild-type levels of mcm10-4A resulted in severe growth and DNA replication defects in budding yeast cells, with diminished DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2. We then expressed the mcm10-4A in mcm5-bob1 mutant cells to bypass the defects mediated by diminished stimulation of DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2. Expression of wild-type levels of mcm10-4A in mcm5-bob1 mutant cells resulted in severe growth and DNA replication defects, along with diminished RPA signal at replication origins. We also detected diminished GINS and pol-α recruitment to the Mcm2-7 complex. We conclude that an intact Mcm10 coiled-coil interaction surface is important for origin melting, helicase assembly, and the recruitment of pol α to Mcm2-7.

Figure 8. An intact Mcm10 coiled-coil interaction surface is important for origin melting, helicase assembly and the recruitment of Pol-α to Mcm2–7. (A) Mcm2–7 complex is loaded as a double hexamer to encircle dsDNA during late M and G1 phase. In early S phase, Mcm10 stimulates DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2. S-phase cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) phosphorylates Sld2 and Sld3 and these phosphorylated proteins bind to Dpb11 to form the ternary complex Sld3-Sld2-Dpb11 that binds to the Mcm2–7 complex. The Sld3-Sld2-Dpb11 ternary complex blocks the interaction between GINS and Mcm2–7. Lagging stand ssDNA is extruded from the central ring of Mcm2–7 complex. (B) Mcm10 oligomerization promotes Mcm10-binding to the extruded lagging ssDNA strand. (C) Sld3-Sld2-Dpb11 bind to the melted, lagging ssDNA strand, allowing GINS to bind Mcm2–7 by a passive, sequestration mechanism. (D) Mcm10 oligomerization promotes the recruitment of pol α to Mcm2–7.
