Target data

See full target information MCM6

Function

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, PubMed:9305914). 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).

Activity summary

The target known as MCM6 or Minichromosome Maintenance Complex Component 6 is a part of a group of proteins providing essential functions during DNA replication initiation. MCM6 is a part of the hexameric MCM2-7 complex which operates as a helicase that unwinds DNA to facilitate fork progression. This protein has an approximate molecular weight of 92 kDa. MCM6 expresses in dividing cells across different tissues particularly in cells with high proliferative rates like those in the bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract.

Biological function summary

The functions of MCM6 contribute to the precise control of DNA replication and overall cell cycle regulation. The protein forms a part of the MCM2-7 complex playing a significant role in the S phase to ensure DNA replication occurs at the right time. Additionally the MCM complex acts as a primary licensing factor for replication origins preventing re-replication. MCM6 also interacts with other proteins like CDC45 and GINS to form the CMG complex a critical component for replication fork stability and duplication.

Pathways

MCM6 contributes significantly within the DNA replication and cell cycle pathways. As a component of the MCM2-7 complex it supports the unwinding of DNA which is a prerequisite for replication to initiate. MCM6 is related to proteins like CDC6 and ORC which are integral to the assembly of the pre-replication complex facilitating the initiation of DNA synthesis. This integration into core cellular mechanisms highlights its importance in genomic stability.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or deregulation of MCM6 have links to cancerous growths and genomic instability disorders. The aberrant expression of MCM6 is often observed in cancers such as colorectal and breast cancer where it contributes to unchecked cellular proliferation. MCM6 correlates with oncogenic proteins like MYC which can amplify abnormal cell cycle progression. Understanding the mechanistic contributions of MCM6 in these conditions assists in developing therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways.
