Loading mechanisms of ring helicases at replication origins

Threading of DNA through the central channel of a replicative ring helicase is known as helicase loading, and is a pivotal event during replication initiation at replication origins. Once loaded, the helicase recruits the primase through a direct protein–protein interaction to complete the initial ‘...
