Structural highlights
1b77 is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia phage RB69. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CLAMP_BPR69 Sliding clamp that encircles the genomic DNA and links the DNA polymerase to the template to control the processivity of DNA synthesis. Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase to DNA during high-speed replication. Interaction with the sliding-clamp-loader opens the sliding clamp so that it can be loaded around the DNA template. During transcription, encircles the DNA and tethers host RNA polymerase (RNAP) to it.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04161]
