MCM2

DNA replication licensing factor MCM2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM2 gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are involved in the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The hexameric protein complex formed by MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. This protein forms a complex with MCM4, 6, and 7, and has been shown to regulate the helicase activity of the complex. This protein is phosphorylated, and thus regulated by, protein kinases CDC2 and CDC7.

Interactions

MCM2 has been shown to interact with:

  • AKAP8,
  • Cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase,
  • MCM3,
  • MCM4,
  • MCM5,
  • MCM6,
  • MCM7,
  • ORC1L,
  • ORC2L,
  • ORC4L,
  • ORC5L, and
  • Replication protein A1.

    PABCO Transit

    PABCO Transit, Inc., (now NJ Transit Morris, Inc.) doing business under the Morris County Metro brand, was a public transport company based in Dover, New Jersey operating local bus service in Morris County for New Jersey Transit. The company was originally called Passaic - Athena Bus Lines which operated service in Passaic and Clifton, New Jersey.

    Passaic-Athenia Bus Co.

    The Passaic-Athenia Bus Co. (originally Red Star Transportation up until 1922) operated the following routes prior to NJ Transit's takeover and contracting of the routes. The 702 was co-operated with Garfield & Passaic Transit as their #6 route and Community as its #1 route.

    Renumbered routes

    In October 2010, New Jersey Transit decided to take over these routes and split them into routes 871875 and 880 by a newly created subsidiary called NJ Transit Morris, Inc. Morris County still subsidizes their operation. These routes are part of the Central Division.

    Previously discontinued routes

    On June 1, 2010 New Jersey Transit has decided to stop subsidizing the following routes leading to their discontinuation at the end of June.
