The crystal structure of the β-sliding clamp confirmed the biochemical prediction of a ring shape for the β-dimer. It also revealed the unexpected three-domain architecture of β, giving the dimer a sixfold appearance.

The structure of the eukaryotic sliding clamp, PCNA, is essentially superimposable on the β-sliding clamp. Both clamps contain six copies of the same structural domain, except PCNA is a trimer in which each protomer consists of two domains.
