Abstract

Yeast cells exclude the DNA-replication-initiation factor Mcm4 from the nucleus during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle, when active replication 'origins' must not reassemble. This exclusion is dependent on cyclin-dependent kinases and provides a general mechanism for preventing re-replication of DNA in a single cell cycle.
