|
| The PCNA binding site is a short motif that mediates interaction with PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen), the "clamp" that associates proteins with the DNA replication fork. Among such proteins are enzymes involved in DNA replication, DNA repair and DNA methylation. Some proteins involved in cell cycle control also have PCNA binding sites. The site forms a short alpha helix which interacts with a patch on the outer surface of the clamp. |
