Characterization of subcellular localization of eukaryotic clamp loader/unloader and its regulatory mechanism

Abstract Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) plays a critical role as a processivity clamp for eukaryotic DNA polymerases and a binding platform for many DNA replication and repair proteins. The enzymatic activities of PCNA loading and unloading have been studied extensively in vitro. However,...
