| UniProt functional annotation for Q5JFD3 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5JFD3. |
| Organism: | Thermococcus kodakarensis (strain ATCC BAA-918 / JCM 12380 / KOD1) (Pyrococcus kodakaraensis (strain KOD1)). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcus. | |
| Function: | Sliding clamp subunit that acts as a moving platform for DNA processing. Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase and other proteins to DNA during high-speed replication. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00317}. | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by interaction with the PCNA inhibitor TIP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24728986}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer. The subunits circularize to form a toroid; DNA passes through its center. Replication factor C (RFC) is required to load the toroid on the DNA (By similarity). Interacts with TIP (PubMed:24728986). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00317, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24728986}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PCNA family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00317}. | |
