Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2026Title: Structural insights into Sld3-Sld7-dependent Cdc45 loading during replication initiation.

However, how DDK phosphorylation primes the MCM2-7 double hexamer (DH) for Sld3-Sld7 binding and Cdc45 loading remained ...Regulated helicase activation by DDK kinase is central for genome stability. However, how DDK phosphorylation primes the MCM2-7 double hexamer (DH) for Sld3-Sld7 binding and Cdc45 loading remained unclear. We define this mechanism through cryo-EM structures of MCM2-7 DH-Sld3-Sld7 (MS) and MCM2-7 DH-Sld3-Sld7-Cdc45 (MSC). We reveal that the autoinhibitory Mcm4 tail engages not only Mcm4 but also Mcm6. Upon DDK-dependent phosphorylation, both of these sites become accessible. In the context of the MS structure, we identify that two short Sld3 motifs that contact Mcm4 and Mcm6 read out the DH phosphorylation state, while the Sld3 Treslin domain (STD) binds to Mcm2. In the MSC structure, Cdc45 dislodges the Sld3 STD from Mcm2, allowing Sld3 to position Cdc45 at the Mcm2/Mcm5 interface. Mutagenesis of the Sld3 STD-Cdc45 interface disrupts Cdc45 loading, validating this interaction. Together, our data reveal a phosphorylation-encoded mechanism coupling DDK-activated Mcm4/Mcm6 surfaces to distal Cdc45 placement, explaining how firing factors choreograph the DH-to-CMG transition. | ||||||||||||
