Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function Q9EVR1_STRPY Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP-independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of replication as well as for processivity of DNA replication.[ARBA:ARBA00002266] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
