| PubMed Abstract | Rad24-RFC (replication factor C) loads the 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp onto the recessed 5' ends by binding a 5' DNA at an external surface site and threading the 3' single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) into 9-1-1. ...Rad24-RFC (replication factor C) loads the 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp onto the recessed 5' ends by binding a 5' DNA at an external surface site and threading the 3' single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) into 9-1-1. We find here that Rad24-RFC loads 9-1-1 onto DNA gaps in preference to a recessed 5' end, thus presumably leaving 9-1-1 on duplex 3' ss/double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) after Rad24-RFC ejects from DNA. We captured five Rad24-RFC-9-1-1 loading intermediates using a 10-nt gap DNA. We also determined the structure of Rad24-RFC-9-1-1 using a 5-nt gap DNA. The structures reveal that Rad24-RFC is unable to melt DNA ends and that a Rad24 loop limits the dsDNA length in the chamber. These observations explain Rad24-RFC's preference for a preexisting gap of over 5-nt ssDNA and suggest a direct role of the 9-1-1 in gap repair with various TLS (trans-lesion synthesis) polymerases in addition to signaling the ATR kinase. |
