ARISTEIA II
“Transcriptional reprogramming features triggered by oncogenic Cdc6” Funded by the GSRT with 200.000 Euros, “ARISTEIA II” program, project code 3020, 2014-2015
Cdc6 is a pivotal replication licensing factor. Together with the origin recognition complex (ORC) and Cdt1 they facilitate the loading of the minichromosome maintenance proteins 2-7 (MCM) on the chromatin forming the pre-Replication Complex (pre-RC). Pre-RCs bound to the replication origins, license them to fire once per cell cycle in normal cells. We and others have shown that deranged expression of Cdc6 and Cdt1 leads to re-replication, replication stress and aberrant recombination, which drive genomic instability and promote malignant behavior.
