Eukaryotic replication is similar in most aspects to bacterial replication. It is semiconservative, bidirectional, and semidiscontinuous.

Reconciliation between this phenomenon and the use of ORCs is suggested by the discovery that environmental effects can influence the use of origins.

The key event in controlling replication is the behavior of the ORC complex at the origin.

Cdc6 protein is an unstable protein that is synthesized only in G1.

Cdc6 binds to ORC and allows MCM proteins.

Cdc6 binds to ORC and allows MCM proteins to bind.

Cdt1 facilitates MCM loading on origins

When replication is initiated, Cdc6, and Cdt1 are displaced. The degradation of Cdc6 prevents reinitiation.
