The ORC ubiquitin ligase OBI1 promotes DNA replication origin firing

DNA replication is initiated at defined genomic sites called origins of replication following ORC pre-replicative complex assembly. Here the authors identify a protein ubiquitylating ORC that is involved in origin activation and may act as a selector of origins to be fired.
