Crystal structures of the Escherichia coli DNA replication bold gamma clamp loading complex and of a subunit of the clamp loader bound to a beta clamp monomer provide a physical framework in which to view ATP-dependent modulation of bold gamma complex−beta interactions. The structural data suggest how the beta ring is opened and loaded onto DNA in the absence of a direct interaction between the bold gamma complex and the beta dimer interface.
