Structure of the PCNA unloader Elg1-RFC.
Title: Structure of the PCNA unloader Elg1-RFC.
Timely removal of PCNA from DNA by the Elg1 complex is important to prevent mutations. The mutator phenotype of elg1Delta is attenuated by PCNA mutants that spontaneously fall off DNA. The elg1Delta mutator phenotype is exacerbated by PCNA mutants that accumulate on DNA due to enhanced electrostatic PCNA-DNA interactions.
Title: Effective mismatch repair depends on timely control of PCNA retention on DNA by the Elg1 complex.
We find that the major cause of the chromatin organization defects of an ELG1 mutant is PCNA retention on DNA following replication, with Rtt106-Elg1 interaction potentially playing a contributory role.
Title: Identification of Elg1 interaction partners and effects on post-replication chromatin re-formation.
proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) unloading activity of Elg1 is important for coordinating DNA replication forks with the process of replication-coupled nucleosome assembly to maintain silencing of HML and HMR through S-phase
Title: Pivotal roles of PCNA loading and unloading in heterochromatin function.
the various roles of Elg1 in genome stability maintenance involve the unloading of both modified and unmodified PCNA.
Title: A structure-function analysis of the yeast Elg1 protein reveals the importance of PCNA unloading in genome stability maintenance.
results suggest that Elg1-RLC acts as a general PCNA unloader and is dependent upon DNA ligation during chromosome replication.
