CC   -!- FUNCTION: Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and
CC       other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction
CC       catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP-
CC       independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. Initially
CC       characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA
CC       polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for
CC       most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5'
CC       exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for
CC       initiation of replication as well as for processivity of DNA
CC       replication. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0A988}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Forms a ring-shaped head-to-tail homodimer around DNA which
CC       binds and tethers DNA polymerases and other proteins to the DNA. The
CC       DNA replisome complex has a single clamp-loading complex (3 tau and 1
CC       each of delta, delta', psi and chi subunits) which binds 3 Pol III
CC       cores (1 core on the leading strand and 2 on the lagging strand) each
CC       with a beta sliding clamp dimer. Additional proteins in the replisome
CC       are other copies of gamma, psi and chi, Ssb, DNA helicase and RNA
CC       primase. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0A988}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0A988}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta sliding clamp family. {ECO:0000305}.
