Significance 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

Aug 01, 2001 · The eukaryotic RFC is a complex consisting of one large and four small subunits. We have determined the crystal structure of the clamp loader small subunit (RFCS) from Pyrococcus furiosus. The six subunits, of which four bind ADP in their canonical nucleotide binding clefts, assemble into a dimer of semicircular trimers.
