PubMed Abstract | Humans have three different proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) clamp-loading complexes: RFC and CTF18-RFC load PCNA onto DNA, but ATAD5-RFC can only unload PCNA from DNA. The underlying ...Humans have three different proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) clamp-loading complexes: RFC and CTF18-RFC load PCNA onto DNA, but ATAD5-RFC can only unload PCNA from DNA. The underlying structural basis of ATAD5-RFC unloading is unknown. We show here that ATAD5 has two unique locking loops that appear to tie the complex into a rigid structure, and together with a domain that plugs the DNA-binding chamber, prevent conformation changes required for DNA binding, likely explaining why ATAD5-RFC is exclusively a PCNA unloader. These features are conserved in the yeast PCNA unloader Elg1-RFC. We observe intermediates in which PCNA bound to ATAD5-RFC exists as a closed planar ring, a cracked spiral or a gapped spiral. Surprisingly, ATAD5-RFC can open a PCNA gap between PCNA protomers 2 and 3, different from the PCNA protomers 1 and 3 gap observed in all previously characterized clamp loaders. |
