Title Structure of the replicating complex of a pol alpha family DNA polymerase.
Authors M.C.Franklin, J.Wang, T.A.Steitz.
Ref. Cell, 2001, 105, 657-667. [DOI no: 10.1016/S0092-8674(01)00367-1]

Abstract
We describe the 2.6 A resolution crystal structure of RB69 DNA polymerase with primer-template DNA and dTTP, capturing the step just before primer extension. This ternary complex structure in the human DNA polymerase alpha family shows a 60 degrees rotation of the fingers domain relative to the apo-protein structure, similar to the fingers movement in pol I family polymerases. Minor groove interactions near the primer 3' terminus suggest a common fidelity mechanism for pol I and pol alpha family polymerases. The duplex product DNA orientation differs by 40 degrees between the polymerizing mode and editing mode structures. The role of the thumb in this DNA motion provides a model for editing in the pol alpha family.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. The Polymerase Active Site(A) The backbones of the polymerase palm and fingers domains are shown as magenta and blue ribbons. The carbon atoms of the polymerase side chains shown in stick form are white, while those of the DNA template are dark gray, and those of the primer DNA and dTTP are gold. The bound calcium atoms are shown as light blue mesh spheres, labeled A and B according to their catalytic function. Hydrogen bonds are shown as green lines, while interactions with the metal ions are blue lines. This view looks down the length of the fingers, roughly 180° away from the orientation of Figure 1A.(B) The KKRY motif (residues 705–708) interacts with the primer-template duplex next to the polymerase active site. Residues 703–708 are shown; Thr 703 and Gly 704 are not conserved in the pol α family. Asp 621 from Figure 2A is shown as an isolated side chain. Only the last two bases of the primer strand are shown for clarity. The orientation of this figure can be related to that of Figure 2A by comparing the primer-template DNA

Figure 4. A Tunnel into the Polymerase Active SiteThe molecular surface of RB69 pol in its polymerizing mode is colored by domain according to the scheme of Figure 1A. The dTTP and associated metal ions are at the center of the image, with the primer-template DNA, shown semitransparently behind the surface, extending off to the left. The terminal amine of Lys 560 protrudes into the tunnel, as indicated. This view is roughly the same as that of Figure 2 and Figure 3

Figure 1. Stereo Representation of a Portion of Two Electron-Density MapsThe experimental (blue at 1.5σ) and 2F[o]-F[c] (pink at 1.25σ) densities of RB69 gp43 at 2.8 Å resolution are superimposed on the refined model in the region around D621 in the polymerase catalytic site.

Figure 8. Solvent-Accessible Contact-Surface Representation of a Hypothetical Model for the Replication ComplexIncluded in the model are gp32, gp43, gp45, and a model-built DNA primer template bound with its 3′ terminus in the exonuclease active site. The protein coordinates used were from the crystal structures of T4 gp32 core ([62]), the β subunit of E. coli DNA polymerase III ( [39]), and RB69 gp43. The locations of the various domains and clefts are indicated by arrows.

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Peptide Interactions with the Sliding ClampThe interaction of pol-CT with RB69 sliding clamp is close fitting and consists mainly of hydrophobic interactions. Accessible surface of RB69 sliding clamp is shown in blue, while pol-CT is displayed as a stick model. To illustrate the pol-CT-binding pocket, all the sliding clamp surfaces within 4.5 Å of the pol-CT model are colored in yellow. The figure was made using GRASP ([37]).
Figure 4.
Figure 4. Residues of the T4 and RB69 Pol-CTs that Are Similar to the ClampResidues in the RB69 pol-CT that are colored in blue are different in the T4 pol-CT. Residues that are the same in T4 and RB69 are shown in red. Residues that differ point away from the pol-CT-binding pocket (Table 1).
