From the DNA replication is controlled by the stepwise
assembly of a pre-replicative complex and the replication apparatus.
Cdt1 is a novel component of the pre-replicative complex and plays a
role in loading the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) 2-7
complex onto chromatin. Cdt1 activity is inhibited by geminin, which is
essential for the G2/M transition in metazoan cells.
To understand the molecular basis of the Cdt1-geminin regulatory
mechanism in mammalian cells, we cloned and expressed the mouse Cdt1
homologue cDNA in bacterial cells and purified mouse Cdt1 to near
homogeneity. We found by yeast two-hybrid analysis that mouse Cdt1
associates with geminin, MCM6, and origin recognition complex 2. MCM6 interacts with the Cdt1 carboxyl-terminal region (amino acids
407-477), which is conserved among eukaryotes, whereas geminin
associates with the Cdt1 central region (amino acids 177-380), which
is conserved only in metazoans. In addition, we found that Cdt1 can
bind DNA in a sequence-, strand-, and conformation-independent manner. The Cdt1 DNA binding domain overlaps with the geminin binding domain,
and the binding of Cdt1 to DNA is inhibited by geminin. Taken together,
we have defined structural domains and novel biochemical properties for
mouse Cdt1 that suggest that Cdt1 behaves as an intrinsic DNA binding
factor in the pre-replicative complex.
