Summary: Contributes to DNA clamp loader activity. Involved in DNA metabolic process and mitotic sister chromatid cohesion. Acts upstream of or within telomere tethering at nuclear periphery. Located in nuclear replication fork. Part of Ctf18 RFC-like complex. Orthologous to human CHTF18 (chromosome transmission fidelity factor 18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Ctf18-RFC and DNA Pol form a stable leading strand polymerase/clamp loader complex required for normal and perturbed DNA replication.
Title: Ctf18-RFC and DNA Pol ϵ form a stable leading strand polymerase/clamp loader complex required for normal and perturbed DNA replication.
DNA polymerase epsilon outcompetes double-stranded DNA for recruiting Ctf18-RFC to the replisome.
Title: Structural Basis for the Recruitment of Ctf18-RFC to the Replisome.
These results indicate that the Ctf18-RFC/Polepsilon interaction plays a crucial role in maintaining genome stability in budding yeast, probably through recruitment of this PCNA loader to the replication fork.
Title: Conserved interaction of Ctf18-RFC with DNA polymerase ε is critical for maintenance of genome stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The findings indicate that the association of Ctf18-RFC with Pol at defective replication forks is a key step in activation of the S-phase checkpoint.
Title: A conserved Polϵ binding module in Ctf18-RFC is required for S-phase checkpoint activation downstream of Mec1.
Ctf18 confers protection against stalling or breaks at the replication fork in cells that either lack, or are compromised for, telomerase activity, which is likely to contribute another level to telomere size homeostasis.
Title: The Ctf18RFC clamp loader is essential for telomere stability in telomerase-negative and mre11 mutant alleles.
Results suggest that Elg1, Ctf4, and Ctf18 may coordinate the relative movement of the replication fork with respect to the cohesin ring.
Title: The ELG1 clamp loader plays a role in sister chromatid cohesion.
During chromatid cohesion establishment, Ctf18 is found at the DNA replication fork.
Title: Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion at the S. cerevisiae replication fork.
Ctf18 RFC-like complex modifies telomeric chromatin to make it competent for normal localization to the nuclear periphery.
Title: The Ctf18 RFC-like complex positions yeast telomeres but does not specify their replication time.
