DNA replication licensing factor MCM3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM3 gene.^[3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are involved in the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The hexameric protein complex formed by MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. This protein is a subunit of the protein complex that consists of MCM2-7. It has been shown to interact directly with MCM5/CDC46. This protein also interacts with, and thus is acetlyated by MCM3AP, a chromatin-associated acetyltransferase. The acetylation of this protein inhibits the initiation of DNA replication and cell cycle progression.^[4]

Interactions

MCM3 has been shown to interact with:

• CDC45-related protein,^[5]
• CDC6,^[6][7]
• DBF4,^[5]
• MCM2^[5]
• MCM3AP,^[8][9][10]
• MCM5,^[5][11]
• MCM7,^{[5][6][12][13]}
• ORC4L,^[5] and
• ORC5L.^[5]
