General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | the beta-clamp protein and the gamma clamp loader complex are essential components of bacterial DNA replication machinery. The beta-clamp is a ring-shaped homodimer that encircles DNA and increases the efficiency of replication by providing a binding platform for DNA polymerases and other replication-related proteins. The beta-clamp is loaded onto DNA by the five-subunit gamma clamp loader complex in a multi-step ATP-dependent process. The initial steps of this process involve the cooperative binding of the beta-clamp by the five subunits of ATP-bound clamp loader, which induces or traps an open conformation of the clamp. The delta subunit of the Escherichia coli clamp loader, or even its 140 residue N-terminal domain (called mini-delta), alone can shift conformational equilibrium of the beta-clamp towards the open state | Escherichia coli |
