“Control reactions with Mcm10 alone, lacking CMG, show no unwinding activity (Figure 2—figure supplement 1). Reactions with Mcm10 sometimes give a supershift of some of the substrate (e.g. lanes 5, 8, 11, 12 in Figure 2A), which we interpret as a gel shift of Mcm10 that remains bound to DNA, as Mcm10 is a known DNA binding protein (Du et al., 2012; Robertson et al., 2008; Warren et al., 2008). To determine if other DNA binding proteins such as RPA or E. coli SSB stimulate CMG, we performed experiments in which CMG unwinding was initiated and then either Mcm10, RPA or SSB was added. The results show that the stimulation of CMG is specific to Mcm10 and that RPA and SSB do not substitute for Mcm10 (Figure 2—figure supplement 2).”
