From the speed of replication, it is evident that a mammalian genome could be replicated in 1 hour if all replicons functioned simultaneously. S phase actually lasts for 6 hours in a typical somatic cell, though, which implies that no more than 15% of the replicons are likely to be active at any given moment.

An ARS element consists of an A-T–rich region that contains discrete sites in which mutations affect origin function.

A 14-bp “core” region, called the A domain, which contains an 11-bp consensus sequence consisting of A-T base pairs. This consensus sequence (sometimes called the ACS, for ARS)

The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a highly conserved complex found in all eukaryotes.  It is composed of six proteins with a mass of 400 kD.  ORC binds to the yeast A and B1 elements on the A-T–rich strand and is associated with ARS elements throughout the cell cycle.
