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

Xenopus egg extracts initiate replication at specific origin sites within mammalian G1-phase nuclei. Similarly, S-phase extracts from Saccharomyces cerevisiae initiate DNA replication within yeast nuclei at specific yeast origin sequences. Here we show that Xenopus egg extracts can initiate DNA repl
We have used Xenopus egg extracts to investigate the effects of the antitumor drug daunomycin on DNA replication in vitro. Xenopus sperm nuclei replicated nearly synchronously in our egg extracts, thereby allowing us to determine the effects of the drug on both replication initiation and elongation.
We have generated a panel of deletion mutants of ors12 (812-bp), a mammalian origin of DNA replication previously isolated by nascent strand extrusion from early replicating African Green monkey (CV-1) DNA. The deletion mutants were tested for their replication activity in vivo by the bromodeoxyurid
