Abstract

Human replication factor C (RFC, also called activator 1) is a five-subunit protein complex (p140, p40, p38, p37, and p36) required for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-dependent processive DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerase δ or ɛ. Here we report the reconstitution of the RFC complex from its five subunits simultaneously overexpressed in baculovirus-infected insect cells. The purified baculovirus-produced RFC appears to contain equimolar levels of each subunit and was shown to be functionally identical to its native counterpart in ( i ) supporting DNA polymerase δ-catalyzed PCNA-dependent DNA chain elongation; ( ii ) catalyzing DNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis that was stimulated by PCNA and human single-stranded DNA binding protein; ( iii ) binding preferentially to DNA primer ends; and ( iv ) catalytically loading PCNA onto singly nicked circular DNA and catalytically removing PCNA from these DNA molecules.
