Humans have three different proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) clamp-loading complexes: RFC and CTF18-RFC load PCNA onto DNA, but ATAD5-RFC can only unload PCNA from DNA. The underlying structural basis of ATAD5-RFC unloading is unknown. We show here that ATAD5 has two unique locking loops that appear to tie the complex into a rigid structure, and together with a domain that plugs the DNA-binding chamber, prevent conformation changes required for DNA binding, likely explaining why ATAD5-R ...[more]
