Abstract
Cervical Cancer (CC) is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide, with a significant number of deaths reported yearly. Despite the various treatment options available, the high mortality rate associated with CC highlights the need to develop new and effective therapeutic agents. In this study, we have screened the complete prepared FDA library against the Mitotic kinesin-like protein 1, Cyclin B1, DNA polymerase, and MCM10-ID using three glide-based molecular docking algorithms: HTVS, SP and XP to produce a robust calculation. All four proteins are crucial proteins that actively participate in CC development, and inhibiting them together can be a game-changer step for multitargeted drug designing. Our multitargeted screening identified Sodium (Na) Danshensu, a natural FDA-approved phenolic compound of caffeic acid derivatives isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza. The docking score ranges from -5.892 to -13.103 Kcal/mol, and the screening study was evaluated with the pharmacokinetics and interaction fingerprinting to identify the pattern of interactions that revealed that the compound has bound to the best site it can be fitted to where maximum bonds were created to make the complex stable. The molecular dynamics simulations for 100 ns were then extended to validate the stability of the protein-ligand complexes. The results provide insight into the repurposing, and Na-danshensu exhibited strong binding affinity and stable complex formation with the target proteins, indicating its potential as a multitargeted drug against CC.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
MCM10 plays a vital role in genome duplication and is crucial for DNA replication initiation, elongation, and termination. It coordinates several proteins to assemble at the fork, form a functional replisome, trigger origin unwinding, and stabilize the replication bubble. MCM10 overexpression is associated with increased aggressiveness in breast, cervical, and several other cancers. Disruption of MCM10 leads to altered replication timing associated with initiation site gains and losses accompanied by genome instability. Knockdown of MCM10 affects the proliferation and migration of cancer cells, manifested by DNA damage and replication fork arrest, and has recently been shown to be associated with clinical conditions like CNKD and RCM. Loss of MCM10 function is associated with impaired telomerase activity, leading to the accumulation of abnormal replication forks and compromised telomere length. MCM10 interacts with histones, aids in nucleosome assembly, binds BRCA2 to maintain genome integrity during DNA damage, prevents lesion skipping, and inhibits PRIMPOL-mediated repriming. It also interacts with the fork reversal enzyme SMARCAL1 and inhibits fork regression. Additionally, MCM10 undergoes several post-translational modifications and contributes to transcriptional silencing by interacting with the SIR proteins. This review explores the mechanism associated with MCM10's multifaceted role in DNA replication initiation, chromatin organization, transcriptional silencing, replication stress, fork stability, telomere length maintenance, and DNA damage response. Finally, we discuss the role of MCM10 in the early detection of cancer, its prognostic significance, and its potential use in therapeutics for cancer treatment.

Abstract
To prevent detrimental chromosome re-replication, DNA loading of a double hexamer of the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) replicative helicase is temporally separated from DNA unwinding. Upon S-phase transition in yeast, DNA unwinding is achieved in two steps: limited opening of the double helix and topological separation of the two DNA strands. First, Cdc45, GINS and Polε engage MCM to assemble a double CMGE with two partially separated hexamers that nucleate DNA melting. In the second step, triggered by Mcm10, two CMGEs separate completely, eject the lagging-strand template and cross paths. To understand Mcm10 during helicase activation, we used biochemical reconstitution with cryogenic electron microscopy. We found that Mcm10 splits the double CMGE by engaging the N-terminal homo-dimerization face of MCM. To eject the lagging strand, DNA unwinding is started from the N-terminal side of MCM while the hexamer channel becomes too narrow to harbor duplex DNA.

Abstract
The stability of cellular phenotypes in developing organisms depends on error-free transmission of epigenetic and genetic information during mitosis. Methylation of cytosine residues in genomic DNA is a key epigenetic mark that modulates gene expression and prevents genome instability. Here, we report on a genetic test of the relationship between DNA replication and methylation in the context of the developing vertebrate organism instead of cell lines. Our analysis is based on the identification of hypomorphic alleles of dnmt1, encoding the DNA maintenance methylase Dnmt1, and pole1, encoding the catalytic subunit of leading-strand DNA polymerase epsilon holoenzyme (Pole). Homozygous dnmt1 mutants exhibit genome-wide DNA hypomethylation, whereas the pole1 mutation is associated with increased DNA methylation levels. In dnmt1/pole1 double-mutant zebrafish larvae, DNA methylation levels are restored to near normal values, associated with partial rescue of mutant-associated transcriptional changes and phenotypes. Hence, a balancing antagonism between DNA replication and maintenance methylation buffers against replicative errors contributing to the robustness of vertebrate development.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell deficiency (NKD) is a rare disease in which NK cell function is reduced, leaving affected individuals susceptible to repeated viral infections and cancer. Recently, a patient with NKD was identified carrying compound heterozygous variants of MCM10 (minichromosome maintenance protein 10), an essential gene required for DNA replication, that caused a significant decrease in the amount of functional MCM10. NKD in this patient presented as loss of functionally mature late-stage NK cells. To understand how MCM10 deficiency affects NK cell development, we generated MCM10 heterozygous (MCM10+/-) induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines. Analyses of these cell lines demonstrated that MCM10 was haploinsufficient, similar to results in other human cell lines. Reduced levels of MCM10 in mutant iPSCs was associated with impaired clonogenic survival and increased genomic instability, including micronuclei formation and telomere erosion. The severity of these phenotypes correlated with the extent of MCM10 depletion. Significantly, MCM10+/- iPSCs displayed defects in NK cell differentiation, exhibiting reduced yields of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Although MCM10+/- HSCs were able to give rise to lymphoid progenitors, these did not generate mature NK cells. The lack of mature NK cells coincided with telomere erosion, suggesting that NKD caused by these MCM10 variants arose from the accumulation of genomic instability including degradation of chromosome ends.

Abstract
DNA replication in eukaryotes relies on the synthesis of a ∼30-nucleotide RNA/DNA primer strand through the dual action of the heterotetrameric polymerase α-primase (pol-prim) enzyme. Synthesis of the 7-10-nucleotide RNA primer is regulated by the C-terminal domain of the primase regulatory subunit (PRIM2C) and is followed by intramolecular handoff of the primer to pol α for extension by ∼20 nucleotides of DNA. Here, we provide evidence that RNA primer synthesis is governed by a combination of the high affinity and flexible linkage of the PRIM2C domain and the surprisingly low affinity of the primase catalytic domain (PRIM1) for substrate. Using a combination of small angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy, we found significant variability in the organization of PRIM2C and PRIM1 in the absence and presence of substrate, and that the population of structures with both PRIM2C and PRIM1 in a configuration aligned for synthesis is low. Crosslinking was used to visualize the orientation of PRIM2C and PRIM1 when engaged by substrate as observed by electron microscopy. Microscale thermophoresis was used to measure substrate affinities for a series of pol-prim constructs, which showed that the PRIM1 catalytic domain does not bind the template or emergent RNA-primed templates with appreciable affinity. Together, these findings support a model of RNA primer synthesis in which generation of the nascent RNA strand and handoff of the RNA-primed template from primase to polymerase α is mediated by the high degree of inter-domain flexibility of pol-prim, the ready dissociation of PRIM1 from its substrate, and the much higher affinity of the POLA1cat domain of polymerase α for full-length RNA-primed templates.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. Despite the availability of effective therapies, the development of drug resistance and adverse side effects remain significant challenges in cervical cancer treatment. Thus, repurposing existing drugs as multitargeted therapies for cervical cancer is an attractive approach. In this study, we extensively screened the complete prepared FDA-approved drugs and identified the repurposing potential of taxifolin, a flavonoid with known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as a multitargeted therapy for cervical cancer. We performed a computational analysis using molecular docking with various sampling algorithms, namely HTVS, SP, and XP algorithms, for robust sampling pose and filtered with MM/GBSA analysis to determine the binding affinity of taxifolin with potential targets involved in cervical cancer, such as Symmetric Mad2 Dimer, replication initiation factor MCM10-ID, TPX2, DNA polymerase epsilon B-subunit, human TBK1, and alpha-v beta-8. We then conducted MD simulations to investigate the stability and conformational changes of the complex formed between taxifolin and the mentioned proteins. Our results suggest that taxifolin has a high binding affinity ranging from - 6.094 to - 9.558 kcal/mol, indicating its potential as a multitargeted therapy for cervical cancer. Furthermore, interaction fingerprints, pharmacokinetics and MD simulations revealed that the Taxifolin-target complexes remained stable over the simulation period, indicating that taxifolin may bind to the targets for an extended period. Our study suggests that taxifolin has the potential as a multitargeted therapy for cervical cancer, and further experimental studies are necessary to validate our findings.

Abstract
Minichromosome Maintenance protein 10 (MCM10) is essential for DNA replication initiation and DNA elongation in yeasts and animals. Although the functions of MCM10 in DNA replication and repair have been well documented, the detailed mechanisms for MCM10 in these processes are not well known. Here, we identified AtMCM10 gene through a forward genetic screening for releasing a silenced marker gene. Although plant MCM10 possesses a similar crystal structure as animal MCM10, AtMCM10 is not essential for plant growth or development in Arabidopsis. AtMCM10 can directly bind to histone H3-H4 and promotes nucleosome assembly in vitro. The nucleosome density is decreased in Atmcm10, and most of the nucleosome density decreased regions in Atmcm10 are also regulated by newly synthesized histone chaperone Chromatin Assembly Factor-1 (CAF-1). Loss of both AtMCM10 and CAF-1 is embryo lethal, indicating that AtMCM10 and CAF-1 are indispensable for replication-coupled nucleosome assembly. AtMCM10 interacts with both new and parental histones. Atmcm10 mutants have lower H3.1 abundance and reduced H3K27me1/3 levels with releasing some silenced transposons. We propose that AtMCM10 deposits new and parental histones during nucleosome assembly, maintaining proper epigenetic modifications and genome stability during DNA replication.

Abstract
Mouse telomerase and the DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex elongate the leading and lagging strands of telomeres, respectively. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of lagging strand synthesis, we investigated the interaction between DNA polymerase alpha and two paralogs of the mouse POT1 telomere-binding protein (POT1a and POT1b). Yeast two-hybrid analysis and a glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay indicated that the C-terminal region of POT1a/b binds to the intrinsically disordered N-terminal region of p180, the catalytic subunit of mouse DNA polymerase alpha. Subcellular distribution analyses showed that although POT1a, POT1b, and TPP1 were localized to the cytoplasm, POT1a-TPP1 and POT1b-TPP1 coexpressed with TIN2 localized to the nucleus in a TIN2 dose-dependent manner. Coimmunoprecipitation and cell cycle synchronization experiments indicated that POT1b-TPP1-TIN2 was more strongly associated with p180 than POT1a-TPP1-TIN2, and this complex accumulated during the S phase. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and proximity ligation assays showed that POT1a and POT1b interacted with p180 and TIN2 on telomeric chromatin. Based on the present study and a previous study, we propose a model in which POT1a/b-TPP1-TIN2 translocates into the nucleus in a TIN2 dose-dependent manner to target the telomere, where POT1a/b interacts with DNA polymerase alpha for recruitment at the telomere for lagging strand synthesis.

Abstract
Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (MCM10) is essential for eukaryotic DNA replication. Here, we describe compound heterozygous MCM10 variants in patients with distinctive, but overlapping, clinical phenotypes: natural killer (NK) cell deficiency (NKD) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) with hypoplasia of the spleen and thymus. To understand the mechanism of MCM10-associated disease, we modeled these variants in human cell lines. MCM10 deficiency causes chronic replication stress that reduces cell viability due to increased genomic instability and telomere erosion. Our data suggest that loss of MCM10 function constrains telomerase activity by accumulating abnormal replication fork structures enriched with single-stranded DNA. Terminally-arrested replication forks in MCM10-deficient cells require endonucleolytic processing by MUS81, as MCM10:MUS81 double mutants display decreased viability and accelerated telomere shortening. We propose that these bi-allelic variants in MCM10 predispose specific cardiac and immune cell lineages to prematurely arrest during differentiation, causing the clinical phenotypes observed in both NKD and RCM patients.

Abstract
High-resolution structures have not been reported for replicative helicases at a replication fork at atomic resolution, a prerequisite to understanding the unwinding mechanism. The eukaryotic replicative CMG (Cdc45, Mcm2-7, GINS) helicase contains a Mcm2-7 motor ring, with the N-tier ring in front and the C-tier motor ring behind. The N-tier ring is structurally divided into a zinc finger (ZF) sub-ring followed by the oligosaccharide/oligonucleotide-binding (OB) fold ring. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of CMG on forked DNA at 3.9 Å, revealing that parental DNA enters the ZF sub-ring and strand separation occurs at the bottom of the ZF sub-ring, where the lagging strand is blocked and diverted sideways by OB hairpin-loops of Mcm3, Mcm4, Mcm6, and Mcm7. Thus, instead of employing a specific steric exclusion process, or even a separation pin, unwinding is achieved via a "dam-and-diversion tunnel" mechanism that does not require specific protein-DNA interaction. The C-tier motor ring contains spirally configured PS1 and H2I loops of Mcms 2, 3, 5, 6 that translocate on the spirally-configured leading strand, and thereby pull the preceding DNA segment through the diversion tunnel for strand separation.

Abstract
Viral protein R (Vpr) is an accessory protein found in various primate lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency viruses type 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) as well as simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs). Vpr modulates many processes during viral lifecycle via interaction with several of cellular targets. Previous studies showed that HIV-1 Vpr strengthened degradation of Mini-chromosome Maintenance Protein10 (MCM10) by manipulating DCAF1-Cul4-E3 ligase in proteasome-dependent pathway. However, whether Vpr from other primate lentiviruses are also associated with MCM10 degradation and the ensuing impact remain unknown. Based on phylogenetic analyses, a panel of primate lentiviruses Vpr/x covering main virus lineages was prepared. Distinct MCM10 degradation profiles were mapped and HIV-1, SIVmus and SIVrcm Vprs induced MCM10 degradation in proteasome-dependent pathway. Colocalization and interaction between MCM10 with these Vprs were also observed. Moreover, MCM10 2-7 interaction region was identified as a determinant region susceptible to degradation. However, MCM10 degradation did not alleviate DNA damage response induced by these Vpr proteins. MCM10 degradation by HIV-1 Vpr proteins was correlated with G2/M arrest, while induction of apoptosis and oligomerization formation of Vpr failed to alter MCM10 proteolysis. The current study demonstrated a distinct interplay pattern between primate lentiviruses Vpr proteins and MCM10.

Predictive early gene signature during mouse Bhas 42 cell transformation induced by synthetic amorphous silica nanoparticles. Chem Biol Interact 2020; 315:108900.

Abstract
Synthetic amorphous silica nanoparticles (SAS) are used widely in industrial applications. These nanoparticles are not classified for their carcinogenicity in humans. However, some data still demonstrate a potential carcinogenic risk of these compounds in humans. The Bhas 42 cell line was developed to screen chemicals, as tumor-initiators or -promoters according to their ability to trigger cell-to-cell transformation, in a cell transformation assay. In the present study, we performed unsupervised transcriptomic analysis after exposure of Bhas 42 cells to NM-203 SAS as well as to positive (Min-U-Sil 5® crystalline silica microparticles, and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate) and negative (diatomaceous earth) control compounds. We identified a common gene signature for 21 genes involved in the early stage of the SAS- Min-U-Sil 5®- or TPA-induced cell transformation. These genes were related to cell proliferation (over expression) and cell adhesion (under expression). Among them, 12 were selected on the basis of their potential impact on cell transformation. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to confirm the transcriptomic data. Moreover, similar gene alterations were found when Bhas 42 cells were treated with two other transforming SAS. In conclusion, the results obtained in the current study highlight a 12-gene signature that could be considered as a potential early "bio-marker" of cell transformation induced by SAS and perhaps other chemicals.

Abstract
Structural and biochemical studies have revealed the basic principles of how the replisome duplicates genomic DNA, but little is known about its dynamics during DNA replication. We reconstitute the 34 proteins needed to form the S. cerevisiae replisome and show how changing local concentrations of the key DNA polymerases tunes the ability of the complex to efficiently recycle these proteins or to dynamically exchange them. Particularly, we demonstrate redundancy of the Pol α-primase DNA polymerase activity in replication and show that Pol α-primase and the lagging-strand Pol δ can be re-used within the replisome to support the synthesis of large numbers of Okazaki fragments. This unexpected malleability of the replisome might allow it to deal with barriers and resource challenges during replication of large genomes.

Abstract
The developmental asymmetry of fission yeast daughter cells derives from inheriting ‘older Watson’ versus ‘older Crick’ DNA strand from the parental cell, strands that are complementary but not identical with each other. A novel DNA strand-specific ‘imprint’, installed during DNA replication at the mating-type locus (mat1), imparts competence for cell type inter-conversion to one of the two chromosome replicas. The catalytic subunit of DNA Polymerase α (Polα) has been implicated in the imprinting process. Based on its known biochemical function, Polα might install the mat1 imprint during lagging strand synthesis. The nature of the imprint is not clear: it is either a nick or a ribonucleotide insertion. Our investigations do not support a direct role of Polα in nicking through putative endonuclease domains but confirm its indirect role in installing an alkali-labile moiety as the imprint. While ruling out the role of the primase subunit of Polα holoenzyme, we find that mutations in the Polα-recruitment and putative primase homology domain in Mcm10/Cdc23 abrogate the ribonucleotide imprint formation. These results, while confirming the ribonucleotide nature of the imprint suggest the possibility of a direct role of Mcm10/Cdc23 in installing it in cooperation with Polα and Swi1.

Abstract
Several decades of research have identified Mcm10 hanging around the replisome making several critical contacts with a number of proteins but with no real disclosed function. Recently, the O'Donnell laboratory has been better able to map the interactions of Mcm10 with a larger Cdc45/GINS/MCM (CMG) unwinding complex placing it at the front of the replication fork. They have shown biochemically that Mcm10 has the impressive ability to strip off single-strand binding protein (RPA) and reanneal complementary DNA strands. This has major implications in controlling DNA unwinding speed as well as responding to various situations where fork reversal is needed. This work opens up a number of additional facets discussed here revolving around accessing the DNA junction for different molecular purposes within a crowded replisome.

Abstract
Fork regression is a way of circumventing or dealing with DNA lesions and is important to genome integrity. Fork regression is performed by double-strand DNA ATPases that initially cause newly synthesized strands to unpair from the parental strands, followed by pairing of the new strands and reversal of the fork. This study shows that Mcm10, an essential replication factor, efficiently anneals complementary strands and also inhibits fork regression by SMARCAL1. Moreover, the study localizes the Mcm10 DNA-binding domain to the N-terminal domains of the replicative CMG helicase at the forked nexus. Thus, forks that are unimpeded would contain Mcm10 at a strategic position where its DNA-binding and/or annealing function may block fork regression enzymes and thereby protect active forks from becoming reversed. The 11-subunit eukaryotic replicative helicase CMG (Cdc45, Mcm2-7, GINS) tightly binds Mcm10, an essential replication protein in all eukaryotes. Here we show that Mcm10 has a potent strand-annealing activity both alone and in complex with CMG. CMG-Mcm10 unwinds and then reanneals single strands soon after they have been unwound in vitro. Given the DNA damage and replisome instability associated with loss of Mcm10 function, we examined the effect of Mcm10 on fork regression. Fork regression requires the unwinding and pairing of newly synthesized strands, performed by a specialized class of ATP-dependent DNA translocases. We show here that Mcm10 inhibits fork regression by the well-known fork reversal enzyme SMARCAL1. We propose that Mcm10 inhibits the unwinding of nascent strands to prevent fork regression at normal unperturbed replication forks, either by binding the fork junction to form a block to SMARCAL1 or by reannealing unwound nascent strands to their parental template. Analysis of the CMG-Mcm10 complex by cross-linking mass spectrometry reveals Mcm10 interacts with six CMG subunits, with the DNA-binding region of Mcm10 on the N-face of CMG. This position on CMG places Mcm10 at the fork junction, consistent with a role in regulating fork regression.

Abstract
The mouse factor Zif268, known also as early growth response protein EGR-1, is a classical representative for the Cys2His2 transcription factor family. It is required for binding the RNA polymerase with operator dsDNA to initialize the transcription process. We have shown that only in this family of total six Zn-finger protein families the Zn complex plays a significant role in the protein-DNA binding. Electrostatic feature of this complex in the binding of factor Zif268 from Mus musculus with operator DNA has been considered. The factor consists of three similar Zn-finger units which bind with triplets of coding DNA. Essential contacts of the factor with the DNA phosphates are formed by three conservative His residues, one in each finger. We describe here the results of calculations of the electrostatic potentials for the Zn-Cys2His2 complex, Zn-finger unit 1, and the whole transcription factor. The potential of Zif268 has a positive area on the factor surface, and it corresponds exactly to the binding sites of each of Zn-finger units. The main part of these areas is determined by conservative His residues, which form contacts with the DNA phosphate groups. Our result shows that the electrostatic positive potential of this histidine residue is enhanced due to the Zn complex. The other contacts of the Zn-finger with DNA are related to nucleotide bases, and they are responsible for the sequence-specific binding with DNA. This result may be extended to all other members of the Cys2His2 transcription factor family.

Abstract
Mcm10 is an essential eukaryotic factor required for DNA replication. The replication fork helicase is composed of Cdc45, Mcm2–7 and GINS (CMG). DDK is an S-phase-specific kinase required for replication initiation, and the DNA primase-polymerase in eukaryotes is pol α. Mcm10 forms oligomers in vitro, mediated by the coiled-coil domain at the N-terminal region of the protein. We characterized an Mcm10 mutant at the N-terminal Domain (NTD), Mcm10-4A, defective for self-interaction. We found that the Mcm10-4A mutant was defective for stimulating DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2, binding to eighty-nucleotide ssDNA, and recruiting pol α to Mcm2–7 in vitro. Expression of wild-type levels of mcm10-4A resulted in severe growth and DNA replication defects in budding yeast cells, with diminished DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2. We then expressed the mcm10-4A in mcm5-bob1 mutant cells to bypass the defects mediated by diminished stimulation of DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2. Expression of wild-type levels of mcm10-4A in mcm5-bob1 mutant cells resulted in severe growth and DNA replication defects, along with diminished RPA signal at replication origins. We also detected diminished GINS and pol-α recruitment to the Mcm2–7 complex. We conclude that an intact Mcm10 coiled-coil interaction surface is important for origin melting, helicase assembly, and the recruitment of pol α to Mcm2–7.

Abstract
The protein mini-chromosome maintenance 10 (Mcm10) was originally identified as an essential yeast protein in the maintenance of mini-chromosome plasmids. Subsequently, Mcm10 has been shown to be required for both initiation and elongation during chromosomal DNA replication. However, it is not fully understood how the multiple functions of Mcm10 are coordinated or how Mcm10 interacts with other factors at replication forks. Here, we identified and characterized the Mcm2-7-interacting domain in human Mcm10. The interaction with Mcm2-7 required the Mcm10 domain that contained amino acids 530-655, which overlapped with the domain required for the stable retention of Mcm10 on chromatin. Expression of truncated Mcm10 in HeLa cells depleted of endogenous Mcm10 via siRNA revealed that the Mcm10 conserved domain (amino acids 200-482) is essential for DNA replication, whereas both the conserved and the Mcm2-7-binding domains were required for its full activity. Mcm10 depletion reduced the initiation frequency of DNA replication and interfered with chromatin loading of replication protein A, DNA polymerase (Pol) α, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, whereas the chromatin loading of Cdc45 and Pol ϵ was unaffected. These results suggest that human Mcm10 is bound to chromatin through the interaction with Mcm2-7 and is primarily involved in the initiation of DNA replication after loading of Cdc45 and Pol ϵ.

Abstract
To complete the duplication of large genomes efficiently, mechanisms have evolved that coordinate DNA unwinding with DNA synthesis and provide quality control measures prior to cell division. Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is a conserved component of the eukaryotic replisome that contributes to this process in multiple ways. Mcm10 promotes the initiation of DNA replication through direct interactions with the cell division cycle 45 (Cdc45)-minichromosome maintenance complex proteins 2-7 (Mcm2-7)-go-ichi-ni-san GINS complex proteins, as well as single- and double-stranded DNA. After origin firing, Mcm10 controls replication fork stability to support elongation, primarily facilitating Okazaki fragment synthesis through recruitment of DNA polymerase-α and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Based on its multivalent properties, Mcm10 serves as an essential scaffold to promote DNA replication and guard against replication stress. Under pathological conditions, Mcm10 is often dysregulated. Genetic amplification and/or overexpression of MCM10 are common in cancer, and can serve as a strong prognostic marker of poor survival. These findings are compatible with a heightened requirement for Mcm10 in transformed cells to overcome limitations for DNA replication dictated by altered cell cycle control. In this review, we highlight advances in our understanding of when, where and how Mcm10 functions within the replisome to protect against barriers that cause incomplete replication.

Abstract
Mcm10 is an essential protein that functions to initiate DNA replication after the formation of the replication fork helicase. In this manuscript, we identified a budding yeast Mcm10 mutant (Mcm10-m2,3,4) that is defective in DNA binding in vitro. Moreover, this Mcm10-m2,3,4 mutant does not stimulate the phosphorylation of Mcm2 by Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) in vitro. When we expressed wild-type levels of mcm10-m2,3,4 in budding yeast cells, we observed a severe growth defect and a substantially decreased DNA replication. We also observed a substantially reduced replication protein A- chromatin immunoprecipitation signal at origins of replication, reduced levels of DDK-phosphorylated Mcm2, and diminished Go, Ichi, Ni, and San (GINS) association with Mcm2-7 in vivo. mcm5-bob1 bypasses the growth defect conferred by DDK-phosphodead Mcm2 in budding yeast. However, the growth defect observed by expressing mcm10-m2,3,4 is not bypassed by the mcm5-bob1 mutation. Furthermore, origin melting and GINS association with Mcm2-7 are substantially decreased for cells expressing mcm10-m2,3,4 in the mcm5-bob1 background. Thus, the origin melting and GINS-Mcm2-7 interaction defects we observed for mcm10-m2,3,4 are not explained by decreased Mcm2 phosphorylation by DDK, since the defects persist in an mcm5-bob1 background. These data suggest that DNA binding by Mcm10 is essential for the initiation of DNA replication.

Abstract
The machines that decode and regulate genetic information require the translation, transcription and replication pathways essential to all living cells. Thus, it might be expected that all cells share the same basic machinery for these pathways that were inherited from the primordial ancestor cell from which they evolved. A clear example of this is found in the translation machinery that converts RNA sequence to protein. The translation process requires numerous structural and catalytic RNAs and proteins, the central factors of which are homologous in all three domains of life, bacteria, archaea and eukarya. Likewise, the central actor in transcription, RNA polymerase, shows homology among the catalytic subunits in bacteria, archaea and eukarya. In contrast, while some "gears" of the genome replication machinery are homologous in all domains of life, most components of the replication machine appear to be unrelated between bacteria and those of archaea and eukarya. This review will compare and contrast the central proteins of the "replisome" machines that duplicate DNA in bacteria, archaea and eukarya, with an eye to understanding the issues surrounding the evolution of the DNA replication apparatus.

Abstract
Mcm10 is an essential replication factor that is required for DNA replication in eukaryotes. Two key steps in the initiation of DNA replication are the assembly and activation of Cdc45–Mcm2–7-GINS (CMG) replicative helicase. However, it is not known what coordinates helicase assembly with helicase activation. We show in this manuscript, using purified proteins from budding yeast, that Mcm10 directly interacts with the Mcm2–7 complex and Cdc45. In fact, Mcm10 recruits Cdc45 to Mcm2–7 complex in vitro. To study the role of Mcm10 in more detail in vivo we used an auxin inducible degron in which Mcm10 is degraded upon addition of auxin. We show in this manuscript that Mcm10 is required for the timely recruitment of Cdc45 and GINS recruitment to the Mcm2–7 complex in vivo during early S phase. We also found that Mcm10 stimulates Mcm2 phosphorylation by DDK in vivo and in vitro. These findings indicate that Mcm10 plays a critical role in coupling replicative helicase assembly with helicase activation. Mcm10 is first involved in the recruitment of Cdc45 to the Mcm2–7 complex. After Cdc45–Mcm2–7 complex assembly, Mcm10 promotes origin melting by stimulating DDK phosphorylation of Mcm2, which thereby leads to GINS attachment to Mcm2–7.

Abstract
Efficient replication of the genome and the establishment of endogenous chromatin states are processes that are essential to eukaryotic life. It is well documented that Mcm10 is intimately linked to both of these important biological processes; therefore, it is not surprising that Mcm10 is commonly misregulated in many human cancers. Most of the research regarding the biological roles of Mcm10 has been performed in single-cell or cell-free in-vitro systems. Though these systems are informative, they are unable to provide information on the cell-specific function of Mcm10 in the context of the tissue and organ systems that comprise multicellular eukaryotes. We therefore sought to identify the potential biological functions of Mcm10 in the context of a complex multicellular organism by continuing our analysis in Drosophila using three novel hypomorphic alleles. Observation of embryonic nuclear morphology and quantification of embryo hatch rates reveal that maternal loading of Mcm10 is required for embryonic nuclear stability, and suggest a role for Mcm10 post zygotic transition. Contrary to the essential nature of Mcm10 depicted in the literature, it does not appear to be required for adult viability in Drosophila if embryonic requirements are met. Although not required for adult somatic viability, analysis of fecundity and ovarian morphology in mutant females suggest that Mcm10 plays a role in maintenance of the female germline. Taken together, our results demonstrate critical roles for Mcm10 during early embryogenesis, and mark the first data linking Mcm10 to female specific reproduction in multicellular eukaryotes.

Abstract
We have reconstituted a eukaryotic leading/lagging strand replisome comprising 31 distinct polypeptides. This study identifies a process unprecedented in bacterial replisomes. While bacteria and phage simply recruit polymerases to the fork, we find that suppression mechanisms are used to position the distinct eukaryotic polymerases on their respective strands. Hence, Pol ε is active with CMG on the leading strand, but it is unable to function on the lagging strand, even when Pol δ is not present. Conversely, Pol δ-PCNA is the only enzyme capable of extending Okazaki fragments in the presence of Pols ε and α. We have shown earlier that Pol δ-PCNA is suppressed on the leading strand with CMG (Georgescu et al., 2014). We propose that CMG, the 11-subunit helicase, is responsible for one or both of these suppression mechanisms that spatially control polymerase occupancy at the fork.

Abstract
Mini chromosome maintenance 10 (Mcm10) is an essential protein, which is conserved from S. cerevisiae to Drosophila and human, and is required for the initiation of DNA replication. Knockdown of Drosophila Mcm10 (dMcm10) by RNA interference in eye imaginal discs induces abnormal eye morphology (rough eye phenotype), and the number of ommatidia is decreased in adult eyes. We also observed a delay in the S phase and M phase in eye discs of dMcm10 knockdown fly lines. These results show important roles for dMcm10 in the progression of S and M phases. Furthermore, genome damage and apoptosis were induced by dMcm10 knockdown in eye imaginal discs. Surprisingly, when we used deadpan-lacZ and klingon-lacZ enhancer trap lines to monitor the photoreceptor cells in eye discs, knockdown of dMcm10 by the GMR-GAL4 driver reduced the signals of R7 photoreceptor cells. These data suggest an involvement of dMcm10 in R7 cell differentiation. This involvement appears to be independent of the apoptosis induced by dMcm10 knockdown. Together, these results suggest that dMcm10 knockdown has an effect on DNA replication and R7 cell differentiation.

Abstract
Mcm10 is a multifunctional replication factor with reported roles in origin activation, polymerase loading, and replication fork progression. The literature supporting these variable roles is controversial, and it has been debated whether Mcm10 has an active role in elongation. Here, we provide evidence that the mcm10-1 allele confers alterations in DNA synthesis that lead to defective-replisome-induced mutagenesis (DRIM). Specifically, we observed that mcm10-1 cells exhibited elevated levels of PCNA ubiquitination and activation of the translesion polymerase, pol-ζ. Whereas translesion synthesis had no measurable impact on viability, mcm10-1 mutants also engaged in error-free postreplicative repair (PRR), and this pathway promoted survival at semi-permissive conditions. Replication gaps in mcm10-1 were likely caused by elongation defects, as dbf4-1 mutants, which are compromised for origin activation did not display any hallmarks of replication stress. Furthermore, we demonstrate that deficiencies in priming, induced by a pol1-1 mutation, also resulted in DRIM, but not in error-free PRR. Similar to mcm10-1 mutants, DRIM did not rescue the replication defect in pol1-1 cells. Thus, it appears that DRIM is not proficient to fill replication gaps in pol1-1 and mcm10-1 mutants. Moreover, the ability to correctly prime nascent DNA may be a crucial prerequisite to initiate error-free PRR.

Abstract
Minichromsome maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is an essential replication factor that is required for the activation of the Cdc45:Mcm2-7:GINS helicase. Mcm10's ability to bind both ds and ssDNA appears vital for this function. In addition, Mcm10 interacts with multiple players at the replication fork, including DNA polymerase-α and proliferating cell nuclear antigen with which it cooperates during DNA elongation. Mcm10 lacks enzymatic function, but instead provides the replication apparatus with an oligomeric scaffold that likely acts in the coordination of DNA unwinding and DNA synthesis. Not surprisingly, loss of Mcm10 engages checkpoint, DNA repair and SUMO-dependent rescue pathways that collectively counteract replication stress and chromosome breakage. Here, we review Mcm10's structure and function and explain how it contributes to the maintenance of genome integrity.

Abstract
The eukaryotic DNA replication protein Mcm10 (mini-chromosome maintenance 10) associates with chromatin in early S-phase and is required for assembly and function of the replication fork protein machinery. Another essential component of the eukaryotic replication fork is Cdc45 (cell division cycle 45), which is required for both initiation and elongation of DNA replication. In the present study we characterize, for the first time, the physical and functional interactions of human Mcm10 and Cdc45. First we demonstrated that Mcm10 and Cdc45 interact in cell-free extracts. We then analysed the role of each of the Mcm10 domains: N-terminal, internal and C-terminal (NTD, ID and CTD respectively). We have detected a direct physical interaction between CTD and Cdc45 by both in vitro co-immunoprecipitation and surface plasmon resonance experiments. On the other hand, we have found that the interaction of the Mcm10 ID with Cdc45 takes place only in the presence of DNA. Furthermore, we found that the isolated ID and CTD domains are fully functional, retaining DNA-binding capability with a clear preference for bubble and fork structures, and that they both enhance Cdc45 DNA-binding affinity. The results of the present study demonstrate that human Mcm10 and Cdc45 directly interact and establish a mutual co-operation in DNA binding.

Abstract
Structural studies of -10 promoter element recognition by domain 2 of the RNA polymerase σ subunit [Feklistov & Darst (2011), Cell, 147, 1257-1269] reveal an unusual crystal-packing arrangement dominated by G-quartets. The 3'-terminal GGG motif of the oligonucleotide used in crystallization participates in G-quadruplex formation with GGG motifs from symmetry-related complexes. Stacking between neighboring G-quadruplexes results in the formation of pseudo-continuous four-stranded columns running throughout the length of the crystal (G-columns). Here, a new crystal form is presented with a different arrangement of G-columns and it is proposed that the fortuitous finding of G-quartet packing could be useful in engineering crystal contacts in protein-ssDNA complexes.

Mcm10 self-association is mediated by an N-terminal coiled-coil domain. PLoS One 2013; 8:e70518.

Abstract
Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is an essential eukaryotic DNA-binding replication factor thought to serve as a scaffold to coordinate enzymatic activities within the replisome. Mcm10 appears to function as an oligomer rather than in its monomeric form (or rather than as a monomer). However, various orthologs have been found to contain 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 subunits and thus, this issue has remained controversial. Here, we show that self-association of Xenopus laevis Mcm10 is mediated by a conserved coiled-coil (CC) motif within the N-terminal domain (NTD). Crystallographic analysis of the CC at 2.4 Å resolution revealed a three-helix bundle, consistent with the formation of both dimeric and trimeric Mcm10 CCs in solution. Mutation of the side chains at the subunit interface disrupted in vitro dimerization of both the CC and the NTD as monitored by analytical ultracentrifugation. In addition, the same mutations also impeded self-interaction of the full-length protein in vivo, as measured by yeast-two hybrid assays. We conclude that Mcm10 likely forms dimers or trimers to promote its diverse functions during DNA replication.

Abstract
The eukaryotic DNA replication initiation factor Mcm10 is essential for both replisome assembly and function. Human Mcm10 has two DNA-binding domains, the conserved internal domain (ID) and the C-terminal domain (CTD), which is specific to metazoans. SIRT1 is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase that belongs to the sirtuin family. It is conserved from yeast to human and participates in cellular controls of metabolism, longevity, gene expression and genomic stability. Here we report that human Mcm10 is an acetylated protein regulated by SIRT1, which binds and deacetylates Mcm10 both in vivo and in vitro, and modulates Mcm10 stability and ability to bind DNA. Mcm10 and SIRT1 appear to act synergistically for DNA replication fork initiation. Furthermore, we show that the two DNA-binding domains of Mcm10 are modulated in distinct fashion by acetylation/deacetylation, suggesting an integrated regulation mechanism. Overall, our study highlights the importance of protein acetylation for DNA replication initiation and progression, and suggests that SIRT1 may mediate a crosstalk between cellular circuits controlling metabolism and DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is required for DNA replication in all eukaryotes. Although the exact contribution of Mcm10 to genome replication remains heavily debated, early reports suggested that it promotes DNA unwinding and origin firing. These ideas have been solidified by recent studies that propose a role for Mcm10 in helicase activation. Whereas the molecular underpinnings of this activation step have yet to be revealed, structural data on Mcm10 provide further insight into a possible mechanism of action. The essential role in DNA replication initiation is not mutually exclusive with additional functions that Mcm10 may have as part of the elongation machinery. Here, we review the recent findings regarding the role of Mcm10 in DNA replication and discuss existing controversies.

Abstract
Faithful duplication of the genome in eukaryotes requires ordered assembly of a multi-protein complex called the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) prior to S phase; transition to the pre-initiation complex (pre-IC) at the beginning of DNA replication; coordinated progression of the replisome during S phase; and well-controlled regulation of replication licensing to prevent re-replication. These events are achieved by the formation of distinct protein complexes that form in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Several components of the pre-RC and pre-IC are highly conserved across all examined eukaryotic species. Many of these proteins, in addition to their bona fide roles in DNA replication are also required for other cell cycle events including heterochromatin organization, chromosome segregation and centrosome biology. As the complexity of the genome increases dramatically from yeast to human, additional proteins have been identified in higher eukaryotes that dictate replication initiation, progression and licensing. In this review, we discuss the newly discovered components and their roles in cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Mcm10 is essential for chromosome replication in eukaryotic cells and was previously thought to link the Mcm2-7 DNA helicase at replication forks to DNA polymerase alpha. Here, we show that yeast Mcm10 interacts preferentially with the fraction of the Mcm2-7 helicase that is loaded in an inactive form at origins of DNA replication, suggesting a role for Mcm10 during the initiation of chromosome replication, but Mcm10 is not a stable component of the replisome subsequently. Studies with budding yeast and human cells indicated that Mcm10 chaperones the catalytic subunit of polymerase alpha and preserves its stability. We used a novel degron allele to inactivate Mcm10 efficiently and this blocked the initiation of chromosome replication without causing degradation of DNA polymerase alpha. Strikingly, the other essential helicase subunits Cdc45 and GINS were still recruited to Mcm2-7 when cells entered S-phase without Mcm10, but origin unwinding was blocked. These findings indicate that Mcm10 is required for a novel step during activation of the Cdc45-MCM-GINS helicase at DNA replication origins.

Abstract
The CMG complex composed of Mcm2-7, Cdc45 and GINS is postulated to be the eukaryotic replicative DNA helicase, whose activation requires sequential recruitment of replication proteins onto Mcm2-7. Current models suggest that Mcm10 is involved in assembly of the CMG complex, and in tethering of DNA polymerase α at replication forks. Here, we report that Mcm10 is required for origin DNA unwinding after association of the CMG components with replication origins in fission yeast. A combination of promoter shut-off and the auxin-inducible protein degradation (off-aid) system efficiently depleted cellular Mcm10 to <0.5% of the wild-type level. Depletion of Mcm10 did not affect origin loading of Mcm2-7, Cdc45 or GINS, but impaired recruitment of RPA and DNA polymerases. Mutations in a conserved zinc finger of Mcm10 abolished RPA loading after recruitment of Mcm10. These results show that Mcm10, together with the CMG components, plays a novel essential role in origin DNA unwinding through its zinc-finger function.

Abstract
Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is a non-enzymatic replication factor required for proper assembly of the eukaryotic replication fork. Mcm10 interacts with single-stranded and double-stranded DNA, DNA polymerase α and Mcm2-7, and is important for activation of the pre-replicative complex and recruitment of subsequent proteins to the origin at the onset of S-phase. In addition, Mcm10 has recently been implicated in coordination of helicase and polymerase activities during replication fork progression. The nature of Mcm10's involvement in these activities, whether direct or indirect, remains unknown. However, recent biochemical and structural characterization of Mcm10 from multiple organisms has provided insights into how Mcm10 utilizes a modular architecture to act as a replisome scaffold, which helps to define possible roles in origin DNA melting, Pol α recruitment and coordination of enzymatic activities during elongation.

Abstract
DNA replication and the correct packaging of DNA into different states of chromatin are both essential processes in all eukaryotic cells. High-fidelity replication of DNA is essential for the transmission of genetic material to cells. Likewise the maintenance of the epigenetic chromatin states is essential to the faithful reproduction of the transcriptional state of the cell. It is becoming more apparent that these two processes are linked through interactions between DNA replication proteins and chromatin-associated proteins. In addition, more proteins are being discovered that have dual roles in both DNA replication and the maintenance of epigenetic states. We present an analysis of two Drosophila mutants in the conserved DNA replication protein Mcm10. A hypomorphic mutant demonstrates that Mcm10 has a role in heterochromatic silencing and chromosome condensation, while the analysis of a novel C-terminal truncation allele of Mcm10 suggests that an interaction with Mcm2 is not required for chromosome condensation and heterochromatic silencing but is important for DNA replication.

Abstract
The eukaryotic DNA replication protein Mcm10 associates with chromatin in early S-phase and is required for assembly and function of the replication fork protein machinery. Xenopus laevis (X) Mcm10 binds DNA via a highly conserved internal domain (ID) and a C-terminal domain (CTD) that is unique to higher eukaryotes. Although the structural basis of the interactions of the ID with DNA and polymerase alpha is known, little information is available for the CTD. We have identified the minimal DNA binding region of the XMcm10-CTD and determined its three-dimensional structure by solution NMR. The CTD contains a globular domain composed of two zinc binding motifs. NMR chemical shift perturbation and mutational analysis show that ssDNA binds only to the N-terminal (CCCH-type) zinc motif, whose structure is unique to Mcm10. The second (CCCC-type) zinc motif is not involved in DNA binding. However, it is structurally similar to the CCCC zinc ribbon in the N-terminal oligomerization domain of eukaryotic and archaeal MCM helicases. NMR analysis of a construct spanning both the ID and CTD reveals that the two DNA binding domains are structurally independent in solution, supporting a modular architecture for vertebrate Mcm10. Our results provide insight in the action of Mcm10 in the replisome and support a model in which it serves as a central scaffold through coupling of interactions with partner proteins and the DNA.
