| UniProt functional annotation for Q8U4J3 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8U4J3. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| Function: | Part of the RFC clamp loader complex which loads the PCNA sliding clamp onto DNA. The complex possesses DNA-dependent ATPase activity which is further stimulated by PCNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11274122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12296822}. | |
| Subunit: | Heteromultimer composed of three to four small subunits (RfcS) and one to two large subunits (RfcL). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11274122}. | |
| Ptm: | This protein undergoes a protein self splicing that involves a post-translational excision of the intervening region (intein) followed by peptide ligation. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The intein interrupts the potential ATP-binding site. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the activator 1 small subunits family. RfcS subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
