Acts as a component of the MCM2-7 complex (MCM complex) which is the replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. Core component of CDC45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase, the molecular machine that unwinds template DNA during replication, and around which the replisome is built (PubMed:16899510, PubMed:32453425, PubMed:34694004, PubMed:34700328, PubMed:35585232). The active ATPase sites in the MCM2-7 ring are formed through the interaction surfaces of two neighboring subunits such that a critical structure of a conserved arginine finger motif is provided in trans relative to the ATP-binding site of the Walker A box of the adjacent subunit. The six ATPase active sites, however, are likely to contribute differentially to the complex helicase activity (PubMed:32453425).

The protein MCM5 also known as Minichromosome Maintenance Complex Component 5 plays a significant role in DNA replication. It is a part of the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) family which consists of several proteins forming an important component of the pre-replication complex. MCM5 has a molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa. This protein is ubiquitously expressed in cells underlining its fundamental role in the cell cycle. The presence of MCM5 ensures the fidelity and timing of DNA replication initiation during the S phase of cell division.
As a component of the MCM2-7 hexameric complex MCM5 contributes to the unwinding of DNA an essential step for replication. This complex acts as a helicase unwinding the DNA double helix at replication origins. This activity is required for laying down the replication fork and allowing access for the DNA polymerase. MCM5 integrates into the larger assembly of the replication machinery working in concert with cell cycle regulators to ensure proper cell cycle progression.
MCM5 participates in DNA replication and cell cycle control pathways. It closely associates with the GINS complex and CDC45 forming the CMG (CDC45-MCM-GINS) complex which is critical for replication fork progression. MCM5 also interacts with the ATR-mediated DNA damage repair pathway. This relationship provides a checkpoint mechanism to halt replication in response to DNA damage allowing time for repair processes to maintain genomic stability.
MCM5 has implications in cancer and replication stress-related conditions. Overexpression or dysregulation of MCM5 can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation contributing to oncogenesis. MCM5 has a notable connection to cyclin D1 and the Retinoblastoma (Rb) protein pathway often disrupted in cancers. Moreover in diseases characterized by replication stress such as certain neurodegenerative disorders improper MCM5 function can exacerbate genomic instability leading to disease progression.

Validation of Two-week-old Mouse Heart RNA-Sequencing Results by RT-qPCR and Western Blot. RNA and protein samples analyzed were extracted from WT and Lmna−/− mouse heart tissues at 2 weeks of age. (a) RT-qPCR validation of down-regulated genes (AURKA, BRCA1, CDK1, CHEK1, Cyclin B1, MCM5, PLK1) identified by RNA-Sequencing. The housekeeping gene S18 was used as a control gene for both WT and Lmna−/− samples. ∆∆ cycle threshold (Ct) method was used for RT-qPCR analysis. Average WT expression level was normalized to one and Lmna−/− expression levels were calculated over average WT level and showed as “mean ± SEM” on Y axis. The expression levels of all the listed genes were significantly lower in 2-week Lmna−/− mouse hearts than in 2-week WT mouse hearts (p < 0.01). (b) RT-qPCR validation of up-regulated genes (EPHX1, NDUFA13, NRF2, PLK3, SQSTM1) identified by RNA-Sequencing. The same ∆∆Ct method was used for analysis. The relative expression levels of all the listed genes are showed as “mean ± SEM” on Y axis. The expression levels in 2-week-old Lmna−/− mouse hearts were significantly higher than those in 2-week-old WT mouse hearts for all the genes (p < 0.05). (c) Western blot validation of protein expressions of representative down-regulated (CDK1, Cyclin B1 and MCM5) and up-regulated (NRF2 and PLK3) genes. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Three repeated experiments were conducted for each protein with similar results showed in the figure.
