Recent advances in the study of archaeal DNA replication have uncovered defined replication origins (oriC) and demonstrated specific binding of the Cdc6/Orc1 protein and Mcm helicase to oriC in vivo and/or in vitro. The oriC of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus abyssi is characterized by 13 ...
