Popis: Human Pin1 is a peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase with a unique preference for phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro substrate motifs. Here we report that MCM3 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 3) is a novel target of Pin1. MCM3 interacts directly with the WW domain of Pin1. Proline-directed phosphorylation of MCM3 at S112 and T722 are crucial for the interaction with Pin1. MCM3 as a subunit of the minichromosome maintenance heterocomplex MCM2-7 is part of the pre-replication complex responsible for replication licensing and is implicated in the formation of the replicative helicase during progression of replication. Our data suggest that Pin1 coordinates phosphorylation-dependently MCM3 loading onto chromatin and its unloading from chromatin, thereby mediating S phase control.
