Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotic DNA replication, replication factor C (RFC) acts as a "clamp loader" that loads PCNA onto a primed DNA template in an ATP-dependent manner. Proteins with functions essentially identical to that of RFC exist in Archaea. We have determined the crystal structure of the small subunit (RFCS) of Pyrococcus furiosus RFC at 2.8-A resolution. Using the information from the determined tertiary structure, we...
