A structural and dynamic model for the assembly of Replication Protein A on single-stranded DNA

Replication Protein A (RPA) coats single stranded DNA (ssDNA) generated during DNA recombination, replication and repair. Here the authors present a structural model suggesting how RPA’s DNA-binding domains promote cooperative assembly of multiple RPAs on long ssDNA.
