title: DNA replication: metazoan Sld3 steps forward.
abstract: In yeast, phosphorylation of the Sld3 protein by cyclin-dependent kinases is essential for replication initiation. In metazoans, three potential Sld3 counterparts have emerged. A new study suggests that one of these, Treslin/Ticrr, is the Sld3 ortholog.
