We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

In general, PCNA works as a sliding ring-shaped clamp that anchors replisome proteins to double stranded DNA to prevent dissociation. In processive elongation of the leading and lagging strands of DNA, PCNA assembly is coupled with ATP hydrolysis by Replication Factor C (RFC) onto a primed DNA template. PCNA then associates with DNA polymerase δ (pol δ) creating a holoenzyme such that pol δ synthesizes new DNA strands without dissociating from the DNA template. |
