This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of replication once it is clamped onto DNA, it slides freely (bidirectional and ATP-independent) along duplex DNA.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The dimeric ring-shaped sliding clamp of E. coli DNA polymerase III (beta subunit, homolog of eukaryotic PCNA) is loaded onto DNA by the clamp loader gamma complex (homolog of eukaryotic Replication Factor C, RFC). The delta subunit of the gamma complex binds to the beta ring and opens it. The crystal structure of a beta:delta complex shows that delta, which is structurally related to the delta' and gamma subunits of the gamma complex, is a molecular wrench that induces or traps a conformational change in beta such that one of its dimer interfaces is destabilized. Structural comparisons and molecular dynamics simulations suggest a spring-loaded mechanism in which the beta ring opens spontaneously once a dimer interface is perturbed by the delta wrench.
