The DnaX complex of the DNA polymerase holoenzyme
assembles the
2 processivity factor onto the
primed template enabling highly processive replication. The key ATPases
within this complex are
and
, alternative frameshift products of
the dnaX gene. Of the five domains of
, I-III are
shared with
In vivo,
binds the auxiliary
subunits 
' and 
(Glover, B. P., and McHenry, C. S. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 3017-3020). To localize

' and 
binding domains within
domains I-III, we
measured the binding of purified biotin-tagged DnaX proteins lacking
specific domains to 
' and 
by surface plasmon resonance.
Fusion proteins containing either DnaX domains I-III or domains III-V
bound 
' and 
subunits. A DnaX protein only containing
domains I and II did not bind 
' or 
. The binding affinity
of 
for DnaX domains I-III and domains III-V was the same as
that of 
for full-length
, indicating that domain III
contained all structural elements required for 
binding. Domain
III of
also contained 
' binding sites, although the
interaction between 
' and domains III-V of
was 10-fold
weaker than the interaction between 
' and full length
. The
presence of both
and 
strengthened the
'-C(0)
interaction by at least 15-fold. Domain III was the only domain common
to all of
fusion proteins whose interaction with
' was enhanced in the presence of
and 
. Thus, domain III of the DnaX
proteins not only contains the 
' and 
binding sites but
also contains the elements required for the positive cooperative
assembly of the DnaX complex.
