“…Domain IIa is multifunctional, being sufficient for origin DNA binding activity, binding to host RPA, topoisomerase I, transcription factors, and perhaps other proteins (1, 2, 3). Domain IIb-III contains the helicase activity of Tag (20,31) as well as binding sites for the tumor suppressor protein p53, DNA polymerase ␣-primase, and other host proteins (1-3, 33). In addition, a role for domain III in contacting origin DNA in the double hexamer was recently reported (34).…”
