Structure of S. cerevisiae Rad24-RFC loading the 9-1-1 clamp onto a 10-nt gapped DNA in step 1 (open 9-1-1 and shoulder bound DNA only)

Structural highlights
FunctionRAD24_YEAST Participates in checkpoint pathways arrest of the cell cycle, a mechanism that allows the DNA repair pathways to act to restore the integrity of the DNA prior to DNA synthesis or separation of the replicated chromosomes. Regulates the DNA damage checkpoint pathway throughout the cell cycle, when associated with RCF5. Component of the RFC-like RAD24-RFC complex which loads the checkpoint clamp DDC1:MEC3:RAD17 complex and is involved in DNA repair pathways. During a clamp loading circle, the RFC:clamp complex binds to DNA and the recognition of the double-stranded/single-stranded junction stimulates ATP hydrolysis by RFC. The complex presumably provides bipartite ATP sites in which one subunit supplies a catalytic site for hydrolysis of ATP bound to the neighboring subunit. Dissociation of RFC from the clamp leaves the clamp encircling DNA.[1] [2] [3] References
