CMG helicase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
DNA helicase that unwinds or rearranges duplex DNA during replication, recombination and repair. Surrounds the leading strand during DNA replication and recruits the DNA polymerase epsilon complex (CPX-2110) for leading-strand synthesis. CDC45 adds the GINS complex (CPX-1641) onto each MCM2-7 complex (CPX-2944) to form two active CMG helicases that surround each strand of parental DNA. CMG then translocates along single-strand DNA in the 3-prime to 5-prime direction for bidirectional replication. The complex unwinds duplex regions up to 500 bp.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
