Unwinding of a DNA replication fork by a hexameric viral helicase

Replicative hexameric helicases are fundamental components of replisomes. Here the authors resolve a cryo-EM structure of the E1 helicase from papillomavirus bound to a DNA replication fork, providing insights into the mechanism of DNA unwinding by these hexameric enzymes.
