Timely removal of PCNA from DNA by the Elg1 complex is important to prevent mutations. The mutator phenotype of elg1Delta is attenuated by PCNA mutants that spontaneously fall off DNA. The elg1Delta mutator phenotype is exacerbated by PCNA mutants that accumulate on DNA due to enhanced electrostatic PCNA-DNA interactions. | Effective mismatch repair depends on timely control of PCNA retention on DNA by the Elg1 complex.
