This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Mcm proteins are essential for DNA replication as they are part of the prereplicative complex and contribute to the regulation of DNA replication by the cell cycle. In S. cerevisiae, the Mcm proteins exhibit clear cell cycle-dependent changes in subcellular localization; nuclear from late mitosis to the onset of DNA replication and cytoplasmic from DNA synthesis until the nuclei have fully divided. The goal of this project is to determine what proteins are associated with the Mcm proteins in the nucleus and the cytoplasm by mass spectrometry combined with protein sequence database searching. The identity of the proteins that associate with the Mcm proteins in different subcellular compartments will allow us to understand how the transport of the Mcm proteins is regulated by the cell cycle.
