The protein encoded by this gene is one of the highly
conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are
involved in the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The
hexameric protein complex formed by MCM proteins is a key component
of the pre-replication complex (pre_RC) and may be involved in the
formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA
replication related proteins. This protein is a subunit of the
protein complex that consists of MCM2-7. It has been shown to
interact directly with MCM5/CDC46. This protein also interacts
with, and thus is acetlyated by MCM3AP, a chromatin-associated
acetyltransferase. The acetylation of this protein inhibits the
initiation of DNA replication and cell cycle progression. [provided
