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

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

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

The major role of ORC is to identify the origin to the Cdc6 and MCM proteins that control initiation and licensing.
