DNA polymerase III subunit tau

Gene

Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Part of the beta sliding clamp loading complex, which hydrolyzes ATP to load the beta clamp onto primed DNA to form the DNA replication pre-initiation complex (PubMed:2040637). DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The gamma complex (gamma3,delta,delta') is thought to load beta dimers onto DNA by binding ATP which alters the complex's conformation so it can bind beta sliding clamp dimers and open them at one interface. Primed DNA is recognized, ATP is hydrolyzed releasing the gamma complex and closing the beta sliding clamp ring around the primed DNA (PubMed:9927437).1 Publication
Isoform tau: serves as a scaffold to trimerize the core complex (PubMed:7037770).1 Publication
Isoform gamma: interacts with the delta and delta' subunits to transfer the beta subunit on the DNA (PubMed:9927437). Interacts with ATP, drives ATP-induced conformational changes in the gamma complex that opens the beta sliding clamp ring. After loading of primed DNA ATP is hydrolyzed and the beta sliding clamp ring closes (PubMed:9927437).1 Publication

Interactioni

Subunit structurei

The DNA polymerase III holoenzyme complex contains at least 10 different subunits organized into 3 functionally essential subassemblies: the Pol III core, the beta sliding clamp processivity factor and the clamp-loading complex. The Pol III core (subunits alpha, epsilon and theta) contains the polymerase and the 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activities (PubMed:2040637). The polymerase is tethered to the template via the dimeric beta sliding clamp processivity factor. The clamp-loading complex (also called gamma complex) assembles the beta sliding clamp onto the primed template and plays a central role in the organization and communication at the replication fork. The clamp-loading complex contains delta, delta', psi and chi, and 3 copies of either or both of two different DnaX proteins, gamma and tau. The DNA replisome complex has a single clamp loader (3 tau and 1 each of delta, delta', psi and chi subunits) which binds 3 Pol III cores (1 core on the leading strand and 2 on the lagging strand) each with a beta sliding clamp dimer. Additional proteins in the replisome are other copies of gamma, psi and chi, Ssb, DNA helicase and RNA primase (PubMed:20413500, PubMed:22157955). The clamp loader hydrolyzes ATP to assemble the beta processivity factor onto the primed template (PubMed:2040637, PubMed:9927437) and plays a central role in the organization and communication at the replication fork; the minimal complex to load the beta sliding clamp on DNA is delta, delta', gamma (PubMed:9927437).5 Publications

Isoform gamma (identifier: P06710-2) [UniParc]FASTAAdd to basket

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     431-431: S → E
     432-643: Missing.

Note: Formed by programmed ribosomal frameshifting to a premature stop codon in the -1 frame at codon 430, the last residue is thus Glu and not Ser. Mutants which remove the frameshift are viable, suggesting strongly that gamma is not essential for viability (PubMed:8376347).4 Publications
