Structures of 9-1-1 DNA checkpoint clamp loading at gaps from start to finish and ramification to biology

F. Zheng, R. E. Georgescu, N. Y. Yao, M. E. O'Donnell, H. Li

This paper reports high-resolution structures of Rad24-RFC loading 9-1-1 onto DNA gaps, showing preference for ssDNA gaps and revealing a unique mechanism for clamp loading and DNA repair.

Rad24-RFC loads the 9-1-1 clamp by inserting DNA from the top of a wide-open ring, opposite the mechanism of RFC/PCNA

F. Zheng, R. E. Georgescu, N. Y. Yao, M. E. O'Donnell, H. Li

This paper reveals the mechanism by which Rad24-RFC loads the 9-1-1 clamp onto DNA by inserting ssDNA from the top of an open ring, differing from RFC/PCNA loading.

Ctf4 organizes sister replisomes and Pol alpha into a replication factory

Z. Yuan, R. Georgescu, R. d. L. Almeida Santos, D. Zhang, L. Bai, N. Y. Yao, G. Zhao, M. E. O'Donnell, H. Li

The paper shows Ctf4 organizes sister replisomes and Pol alpha into a replication factory by dimerizing CMG helicase and binding one Pol-primase.

Mcm10 functions to isomerize CMG-DNA for replisome bypass of DNA blocks

L. D. Langston, R. Mayle, G. D. Schauer, O. Yurieva, D. Zhang, N. Y. Yao, R. E. Georgescu, M. E. O'Donnell

This study shows Mcm10 enables CMG helicase to bypass DNA blocks on the non-tracking strand by isomerizing the CMG-DNA complex.
