Abstract excerpt
Sliding clamp proteins topologically encircle DNA and play vital roles in coordinating the actions of various DNA replication, repair, and damage tolerance proteins. At least three distinct surfaces of the Escherichia coli beta clamp interact physically with the DNA that it topologically encircles. We utilized mutant beta clamp proteins bearing G66E and G174A substitutions (beta159), affecting the single-stranded...
