Characterizing the Molecular Determinants of Clamp Binding in B. subtilis

Sarah J. Rancic, Katrin M. Klassen, Nicholas Sawyer, Elizabeth S. Thrall

This study compares clamp binding in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, finding similar and distinct interactions between clamps and pentapeptide/hexapeptide motifs.

The B. subtilis replicative polymerases bind the sliding clamp with different strengths to tune replication processivity and fidelity

Luke G. O’Neal, Madeline N. Drucker, Ngoc Khanh Lai, Ashley F. Clemente, Alyssa P. Campbell, Lindsey E. Way, Sinwoo Hong, Emily E. Holmes, Sarah J. Rancic, Nicholas Sawyer, Xindan Wang, Elizabeth S. Thrall

This study investigates how the sliding clamp interacts with two replicative polymerases in B. subtilis, showing that PolC-DnaN binding is essential for replication while DnaE-DnaN interaction is dispensable but affects mutagenesis.
