Abstract excerpt
The eukaryotic replication factor C (RFC) clamp loader is an AAA+ spiral-shaped heteropentamer that opens and closes the circular proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) clamp processivity factor on DNA. In this study, we examined the roles of individual RFC subunits in opening the PCNA clamp. Interestingly, Rfc1, which occupies the position analogous to the delta clamp-opening subunit in the Escherichia coli...
