Where this comes from

Abstract

The first event in the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication is the recruitment of the MCM2-7 ATPase, the core of the replicative DNA helicase, to origins. Ticau et al. use single-molecule imaging to reveal how ORC, Cdc6, and Cdt1 cooperate to load MCM2-7 onto DNA, enabling bidirectional replication.
