Function

The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and epsilon requires the action of the accessory proteins, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC). RFC, also called activator 1, is a protein complex consisting of five distinct subunits of 145, 40, 38, 37, and 36.5 kD. This gene encodes the 40 kD subunit, which has been shown to be responsible for binding ATP. Deletion of this gene has been associated with Williams syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

RFC2 has been shown to interact with BRD4,{{cite journal | vauthors = Maruyama T, Farina A, Dey A, Cheong J, Bermudez VP, Tamura T, Sciortino S, Shuman J, Hurwitz J, Ozato K | title = A Mammalian bromodomain protein, brd4, interacts with replication factor C and inhibits progression to S phase | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 22 | issue = 18 | pages = 6509–20 | date = Sep 2002 | pmid = 12192049 | pmc = 135621 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.22.18.6509-6520.2002 }} CHTF18,{{cite journal | vauthors = Bermudez VP, Maniwa Y, Tappin I, Ozato K, Yokomori K, Hurwitz J | title = The alternative Ctf18-Dcc1-Ctf8-replication factor C complex required for sister chromatid cohesion loads proliferating cell nuclear antigen onto DNA | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 100 | issue = 18 | pages = 10237–42 | date = Sep 2003 | pmid = 12930902 | pmc = 193545 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.1434308100 | bibcode = 2003PNAS..10010237B | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Merkle CJ, Karnitz LM, Henry-Sánchez JT, Chen J | title = Cloning and characterization of hCTF18, hCTF8, and hDCC1.
