Structural highlights

Function

PCNA1_SACS2 One of the sliding clamp subunits that acts as a moving platform for DNA processing. Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase to DNA during high-speed replication. Heterotrimer stimulates the Holliday junction resolvase Hjc. DNA polymerase I, DNA ligase and the flap endonuclease may be constitutively associated with the PCNA heterotrimer forming a scanning complex able to couple DNA synthesis and Okazaki fragment maturation.^{[1] [2]}
