Geminin is targeted for repression by the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor pathway through intragenic E2F sites

M Markey, H Siddiqui, ES Knudsen - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 - ASBMB
The geminin protein is a critical regulator of DNA replication. It functions to control replication
fidelity by blocking the assembly of prereplication complexes in the S and G 2 phases of the …

Geminin has dimerization, Cdt1-binding, and destruction domains that are required for biological activity

JM Benjamin, SJ Torke, B Demeler… - Journal of Biological …, 2004 - ASBMB
Geminin is an unstable regulatory protein that affects both cell division and cell
differentiation. Geminin inhibits a second round of DNA synthesis during S and G 2 phase by …

Geminin: a major DNA replication safeguard in higher eukaryotes

M Melixetian, K Helin - Cell Cycle, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
Eukaryotes have evolved multiple mechanisms to restrict DNA replication to once per cell
cycle. These mechanisms prevent relicensing of origins of replication after initiation of DNA …

The regulation of embryonic patterning and DNA replication by geminin

M Pitulescu, M Kessel, L Luo - Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences CMLS, 2005 - Springer
Geminin is a multifunctional protein. After DNA replication is initiated during a cell cycle,
geminin binds to Cdt1, one of the key DNA replication licensing factors. This highly …

Geminin prevents rereplication during xenopus development

SL Kerns, SJ Torke, JM Benjamin… - Journal of Biological …, 2007 - ASBMB
To maintain a stable genome, it is essential that replication origins fire only once per cell
cycle. The protein Geminin is thought to prevent a second round of DNA replication by …
