Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Claspin is a mediator of the ATR-dependent DNA replication checkpoint in human cells and also promotes DNA replication fork progression and stability. Though Claspin has been shown to bind DNA and co-immunoprecipitate with other replication fork-associated proteins, the specific protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions that are important for Claspin function are not known. We therefore purified several domains of human Claspin and then tested for direct interactions of these fragments with several replication fork-associated proteins and with DNA. Our data show that the N terminus of Claspin binds to the replicative helicase co-factor Cdc45, the Timeless protein and a branched, replication fork-like DNA structure. In contrast, the C terminus of Claspin associates with DNA polymerase epsilon and Rad17-Replication Factor C (RFC). We conclude that multiple protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions may be important for Claspin function during DNA replication and DNA replication checkpoint signaling.
