Origins of eukaryotic DNA replication are licensed during G1 phase of the cell cycle by loading the six related minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins into a double hexameric ring around double-stranded DNA. In S phase, some double hexamers (MCM DHs) are converted into active CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) helicases which nucleate assembly of bidirectional replication forks. The remaining unfired MCM DHs act as dormant origins to provide backup replisomes in the event of replication fork stalling. The fate of unfired MCM DHs during replication is unknown. Here we show that active replisomes cannot remove unfired MCM DHs. Instead, they are pushed ahead of the replisome where they prevent fork convergence during replication termination and replisome progression through nucleosomes. Pif1 helicase, together with the replisome, can remove unfired MCM DHs specifically from replicating DNA, allowing efficient replication and termination. Our results provide an explanation for how excess replication license is removed during S phase.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
