Replication Independent Chromatin Function of MCM3

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 31B - Invited conference paper (non-refereed items)Yes

Abstract

Mini Chromosome Maintenance proteins (MCMs) are replicative helicases essential for DNA replication. Interestingly, MCM proteins are present in large excess relative to the number of origins of replication, suggesting the MCMs may involve in other cellular functions. Indeed, a recent study from Hubbi et al. has demonstrated the direct role of MCM3 and MCM7 in regulating HIF1. Previous study from us has identified MCM3 as one of the potential factors for the maintenance of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) from a genome wide shRNA screen. In this talk I will present the data showing the chromatin function of MCM3 that is independent of DNA replication.
