Two levels of budding yeast origin flexibility. Mcm2-7 complexes are preferentially loaded at canonical origin sites that contain a high-affinity ORC binding site (top). Mutation of the high-affinity ORC binding site at a canonical origin can redirect ORC to lower-affinity binding sites in the template, resulting in Mcm2-7 loading at non-canonical origin sites (bottom left). Collisions between Mcm2-7 DHs and other DNA translocases at replication origins can induce the sliding of Mcm2-7 to non-canonical origin sites (bottom right)/ ARS: Autonomously replicating sequence.
