Structural highlights
Function
[PCNA_PYRAB] Sliding clamp subunit that acts as a moving platform for DNA processing. Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase and other proteins to DNA during high-speed replication (By similarity). Regulates activity of NucS endonuclease and prevents non-specific cleavage.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00317][1]
