Studies in our laboratory are designed to address, in molecular terms, basic issues related to DNA replication.  Topics under investigation include site-specific binding of “initiator” proteins to origins of replication, the subsequent assembly of the initiation complex, the mechanism by which DNA helicases unwind the origin and how these events are regulated by the cell cycle. A related topic involves the G1/S check-point and the role of Pin-1 in this process. We are investigating these issues using a combination of biochemical, molecular biology and structural techniques.
