By applying the chromatin immunoprecipitation technique to paused forks, certain proteins like DNA pol alpha, DNA pol delta, DNA pol epsilon, MCM2-7, CDC45, GINS and MCM10 were identified. By uncoupling a helicase at the site using a polymerase inhibitor, MCM2-7, GINS complex and CDC45 alone were found to be enriched at the paused fork suggesting these proteins may form a part of an "unwindosome" at the replicating fork.
