Each time a eukaryotic cell divides (by mitosis) it must duplicate its chromosomal DNA exactly once to ensure that one full copy is passed to each resulting cell. Both under-replication or over-replication result in genome instability and disease or cell death. A key mechanism to prevent over-replication is the temporal separation of loading of the replicative DNA helicase at origins of replication and activation of these same helicases during the cell division cycle. Here we define the mechanism by which phosphorylation of the primary DNA binding protein involved in these events inhibits helicase loading. Our studies identify multiple steps of inhibition and provide new insights into the mechanism of helicase loading in the uninhibited condition.
