    Abstract

    The DNA replication licensing system ensures that eukaryotic chromosomes replicate precisely once per cell cycle. A central component of the licensing system, RLF-M, has recently been shown to consist of a complex of Mcm/P1 proteins. This result allows us to integrate data about the MCM/P1 family obtained in different eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to man, into a general picture of the way that chromosome replication is controlled.
