In eukaryotes and archaea, the helicase engine is the hexameric ring minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex. In eukaryotes, a defined biochemical sequence assembles two Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) complexes that provide limited DNA unwinding as the species that immediately precedes extensive unwinding. A prior structure revealed how MCM subunits interact with this form of DNA, but the atomic progression from undistorted DNA to this melted DNA species is unknown. Here, we present a sequential DNA melting mechanism determined by snapshots of an archaeal MCM ring with DNA in varying degrees of melting. In this mechanism, successive ATP-binding at MCM ATPase sites drives sequential discrete DNA melting steps mediated a specific MCM aromatic residue. Analysis of eukaryotic structures shows loaded MCM rings principally adopt only two molecular arrangements at the ATPase: one that does not melt DNA and one tuned to melt DNA with equivalent aromatic residues, indicating a universal sequential mechanism melts DNA in archaea and eukaryotes for replication initiation. |
