EMBO J. 22:2003;6408-6418 By carrying out several competition assays, the authors determine the relative affinities of each of the E. coli DNA polymerases for the β-clamp. DNA Pol III has the highest affinity for the β-clamp and, because only two polymerases can be bound to the β-clamp at any given time, the authors propose that the increased concentration of Pol II, Pol IV and Pol V during the SOS response enables the TLS polymerases to gain access to the β-clamp after DNA damage.

DNA Repair. 1:2002;703-708 This paper demonstrates that mutagenesis by Pol IV and Pol V is dependent on the β-clamp interaction motif. The authors propose a 'tool-belt' model in which the β-clamp may tether several polymerases, thereby allowing it to switch polymerases easily when necessary.

EMBO J. 22:2003;5883-5892 This paper presents the first crystal structure of a large protein domain (the little-finger domain of Pol IV) interacting with the β-clamp of E. coli. The structure shows two Pol IV little-finger domains bound to a single β-clamp homodimer. The interface between Pol IV and the β-clamp includes the conserved amino acid motif at the carboxyl terminus of Pol IV, but more than two-thirds of the interaction surface between β and Pol IV is contributed by the surface of the little-finger domain.

Localization of DNA polymerases η and ι to the replication machinery is tightly co-ordinated in human cells. EMBO J. 22:2003;1223-1233 Using fluorescently tagged recombinant proteins, the authors show that Pol ι localizes to foci after DNA damage. Furthermore, Pol ι foci colocalize with Pol η foci, and the two proteins physically interact. The number of cells containing Pol ι foci is greatly reduced when the tagged protein is expressed in xeroderma pigmentosum variant cells.

Nature. 419:2002;135-141 This article describes the SUMO and ubiquitin modification of PCNA in budding yeast. Synchronization experiments show that the amount of SUMO-conjugated PCNA increases during S phase, and that this increase is dependent on Ubc9, a SUMO conjugating enzyme. In fact, Ubc9 interacts directly with PCNA and predominantly modifies a conserved lysine residue. By using mutations in the ubiquitin and SUMO conjugation pathways, as well by generating mutations in PCNA, the authors show that ubiquitination of PCNA occurs during normal postreplication repair.

49. 2-5 can function as a clamp loader for the 9-1-1 complex. The loading of 9-1-1 occurs in the presence of the non-hydrolysable ATP analog, ATP-γS. The addition of ATP-γS stimulates loading of the 9-1-1 clamp onto gapped circular DNA, especially when followed by the addition of ATP, but ATP alone is insufficient for clamp loading.

They also show that 9-1-1 checkpoint proteins interact physically and functionally with the S. pombe DinB protein (Pol κ).
