Minichromosome Maintenance Proteins

A family of proteins that were originally identified in SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE as being essential for maintaining the structure of minichromosomes00. They form into a protein complex that has helicase activity and is involved in a variety of DNA-related functions including replication elongation, RNA transcription, chromatin remodeling, and genome stability.

Also Known As:

MCM Protein Complex; MCM2-7 Complex; MCM2-7 Helicase; Helicase, MCM2-7; MCM2 7 Complex; MCM2 7 Helicase; Maintenance Proteins, Minichromosome
