Sep 14, 2020 · DNA replication and repair depend on AAA+ ATPase protein complexes called clamp loaders that open and load ring-shaped sliding clamps onto DNA. Using cryogenic electron microscopy, we determined the first structure of the human clamp loader (RFC), which is in an autoinhibited conformation while bound to the sliding clamp (PCNA).

Get a quoteProcessive chromosomal replication relies on sliding DNA clamps, which are loaded onto DNA by pentameric clamp loader complexes belonging to the AAA+ family of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases). We present structures for the ATP-bound state of the clamp loader complex from bacteriophage T4, bound to an open clamp and primer-template DNA.

Get a quoteA DNA clamp, also known as a sliding clamp or β-clamp, is a protein complex that serves as a processivity-promoting factor in DNA replication.As a critical component of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, the clamp protein binds DNA polymerase and prevents this enzyme from dissociating from the template DNA strand. The clamp-polymerase protein–protein …

Get a quotewe determined the first structure of the human clamp loader (RFC), which is in an autoinhibited conformation while bound to the sliding clamp (PCNA). We assign this to be a reaction intermediate prior to clamp opening and propose a confor-mational change necessary for activation, leading to a unique paradigm for the AAA+ ATPase mechanism.
