During S-phase, the cell converts pre-RCs into active replication forks to initiate DNA replication. [4] This process depends on the kinase activity of Cdc7 and various S-phase CDKs, both of which are upregulated upon S-phase entry. [4] Activation of the pre-RC is a closely regulated and highly sequential process.
The process of duplicating DNA is called DNA replication, and it takes place by first unwinding the duplex DNA molecule, starting at many locations called DNA replication origins, followed by an unzipping process that unwinds the DNA as it is being copied. However, replication does not start at all the different origins at once.
The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.
Role of initiators for initiation of DNA replication Formation of pre-replication complex. For a cell to divide, it must first replicate its DNA. [26] DNA replication is an all-or-none process; once replication begins, it proceeds to completion. Once replication is complete, it does not occur again in the same cell cycle.
S-phase: During cell replication when DNA is replicated, and is initiated by the S-phase-promoting factor(SPF) cyclin complexes. [2] The DNA replication takes place, due to the increase in SPF during the switching from G1 to S phase in the cell cycle. [2] SPF is also used to inhibit double replication of chromosomes in the cell cycle, which is ...

Mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDAS) is a process of irregular DNA replication where DNA synthesis, naturally occurring in the S phase, takes place in the M phase of the cell cycle. Mitotic DNA synthesis is known to occur when cells are experiencing stress related to DNA replication. [151]
At the same time, during S phase all cells must duplicate their DNA very precisely, a process termed DNA replication. Once DNA replication has finished, in eukaryotes the DNA molecule is compacted and condensed, to form the mitotic chromosomes, each one constituted by two sister chromatids, which stay held together by the establishment of ...
