Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism and regulation of eukaryotic DNA replication have been expedited by the use of cell-free systems capable of initiation of DNA replication. The system capable of replicating plasmid DNAs containing the SV40 origin of DNA replication in vitro is a

Our understanding of the process by which eukaryotes regulate initiation of DNA replication has made remarkable advances in the past few years, thanks in large part to the explosion of genetic and biochemical information on the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. At least three major concepts h
## Abstract These experiments demonstrate that serum, like insulin, can initiate DNA synthesis in mouse mammary gland epithelium, resulting in a threeβ to fourβfold increase in the rate of DNA synthesis and number of cells synthesizing DNA. Both serum and insulin also increase the tritiated thymidi
An in vitro system for investigating Mu replication nd transposition using film lysates has recently been described (Higgins et al. 1983). Under most conditions examined, little or no replication initiation takes place in vitro. The data are consistent with Mu specific replication forks being initia
The initiation of DNA replication in T lymphocytes appears to be regulated by two distinct activities: one associated with proliferation which mediates initiation, and another associated with quiescence which blocks initiation. Activated lymphocytes and proliferating lymphoid cell lines produce an a
