Abstract

Human checkpoint Rad proteins are thought to function as damage sensors in the DNA damage checkpoint response pathway. The checkpoint proteins hRad9, hHus1, and hRad1 have limited homology to the replication processivity factor proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and hRad17 has homology to replication factor C (RFC). Such observations have led to the proposal that these checkpoint Rad proteins may function similarly to their replication counterparts during checkpoint control. We purified two complexes formed by the checkpoint Rad proteins and investigated their structures using an electron microscopic preparative method in which the complexes are sprayed from a glycerol solution onto very thin carbon foils, decorated in vacuo with tungsten, and imaged at low voltage. We found that the hRad9, hHus1, and hRad1 proteins make a trimeric ring structure (checkpoint 9-1-1 complex) reminiscent of the PCNA ring. Similarly we found that hRad17 makes a heteropentameric complex with the four RFC small subunits (hRad17-RFC) with a deep groove or cleft and is similar to the RFC clamp loader. Therefore, our results demonstrate structural similarity between the checkpoint Rad complexes and the PCNA and RFC replication factors and thus p...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
