Crystal structure of the GINS complex and functional insights into its role in DNA replication.
The GINS complex, which contains the four subunits Sld5, Psf1, Psf2, and Psf3, is essential for both the initiation and progression of DNA replication in eukaryotes. GINS associates with the MCM2-7 complex and Cdc45 to activate the eukaryotic minichromosome maintenance helicase. It also appears to interact with and stimulate the polymerase activities of DNA polymerase epsilon and the DNA polyme...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of the human GINS complex
Chromosomal DNA replication is strictly regulated through a sequence of steps that involve many macromolecular protein complexes. One of these is the GINS complex, which is required for initiation and elongation phases in eukaryotic DNA replication. The GINS complex consists of four paralogous subunits. At the G1/S transition, GINS is recruited to the origins of replication where it assembles w...
متن کاملStructural studies demonstrating a bacteriophage-like replication cycle of the eukaryote-infecting Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus-1
A fundamental stage in viral infection is the internalization of viral genomes in host cells. Although extensively studied, the mechanisms and factors responsible for the genome internalization process remain poorly understood. Here we report our observations, derived from diverse imaging methods on genome internalization of the large dsDNA Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus-1 (PBCV-1). Our st...
متن کاملGINS, a central nexus in the archaeal DNA replication fork.
In eukaryotes, the GINS complex is essential for DNA replication and has been implicated as having a role at the replication fork. This complex consists of four paralogous GINS subunits, Psf1, Psf2, Psf3 and Sld5. Here, we identify an archaeal GINS homologue as a direct interaction partner of the MCM helicase. The core archaeal GINS complex contains two subunits that are poorly conserved homolo...
متن کاملThe human GINS complex associates with Cdc45 and MCM and is essential for DNA replication
The GINS complex, originally discovered in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Xenopus laevis, binds to DNA replication origins shortly before the onset of S phase and travels with the replication forks after initiation. In this study we present a detailed characterization of the human GINS (hGINS) homolog. Using new antibodies that allow the detection of endogenous hGINS in cells and tissues, we have...
