High impact information on Xcdc6

  • In postreplicative nuclei, Xcdc6 is associated with the nuclear envelope [1].
  • Xcdc6 binds to chromatin at the beginning of interphase but disappears from chromatin upon initiation of replication [1].
  • Using immunodepletion/add-back experiments in Xenopus egg extracts, we have determined that both Walker A (ATP binding) and Walker B (ATP hydrolysis) motifs of Xenopus Cdc6 (Xcdc6) are essential, but have distinct functional roles [2].
