Terminating the replication helicase

Nature Cell Biology volume 19, pages 410–412 (2017)Cite this article

Subjects

A feature of the cell cycle is that the events of one cycle must be reset before the next one begins. A study now shows that the replication machinery is removed from fully replicated DNA by a conserved ubiquitin- and CDC48 (also known as p97)-dependent pathway. This explains how eukaryotic chromosomes are returned to the unreplicated state.
