Comprehensive characterization of Minichromosome Maintenance Complex (MCM) protein interactions using affinity and proximity purifications coupled to mass spectrometry.

This project is the complete interactome of the Minichromosome Maintenance (MCM) complex by using AP-MS and BioID approaches for all the different MCM proteins. Overall, our analysis identified unique and shared interaction partners and proteins enriched for distinct biological processes including DNA replication, DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. Furthermore, we mapped the changes in protein interactions of the MCM complex in response to DNA damage, identifying a new role for this complex in DNA repair. In summary, we demonstrate the complementarity of these approaches for the characterization of protein interactions within the MCM complex.
