  Walthers Entertainment World - Cable microphones
The Beta 53 (and its wireless version the WBH53) is a fully adjustable omnidirectional condenser microphone, designed for applications where unconspicuous appearance and incredible sound quality are required.
The uniform cardioid polar pattern of the Beta 87C enables users to effectively reject ambient noise arriving at the rear of the microphone, an attribute that will be especially appealing to users of personal monitors and others who frequently experience undesirable sounds bleeding into their mixes.
The Shure Beta 98H/C (also available as the WB98H/C for use with wireless systems) is a premium cardioid condenser instrumental microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments.

 DNA Replication II
However, linearization of the nicked circle with a restriction endonuclease releases beta from the DNA; that is, beta is a sliding clamp.
In panel (A) the hexameric DnaB helicase encircles the lagging strand, and the two core polymerases are held to the two strands of DNA by beta clamps.
Upon completion of an Okazaki fragment, the lagging strand polymerase releases from DNA by severing its tie to the beta clamp, leaving the beta ring behind on the finished fragment as in panel (B).

New research published this week in Molecular Cell from the laboratory of Rockefeller University's Michael O'Donnell, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, now shows that one of these proteins, the beta sliding clamp, serves as a toolbelt from which the correct proteins are retrieved to enable DNA replication in the face of DNA damage.
The replication machinery inside the cell's nucleus is made up of a collection of enzymes including DNA polymerases, sliding clamps and clamp loaders.
As the ring-shaped beta sliding clamp works its way along the DNA double helix, a network of proteins work together to unwind the two strands.

For example, the Escherichia coli clamp (the beta subunit) is active as a dimer, while the eukaryotic and T4 phage clamps (PCNA and gp45, respectively) are active as trimers.
beta is more stable in solution (Kd The remarkable processivity of cellular replicative DNA polymerases derive their tight grip to DNA from a ring-shaped protein that encircles DNA and tethers the polymerase to the chromosome.
The amino acid sequences of 11 beta and 13 PCNA proteins from different organisms have been aligned and studied to gain further insight into the relation between the structure and function of these sliding clamps.

The single channel conductance of alpha 1 beta 3 channels was low (13 pS) compared with that of alpha 1 beta 3 delta and alpha 1 beta 3 gamma 2L channels (27 pS).
The alpha 1 beta 3 gamma 2L channel exhibited three open states, while the alpha 1 beta 3 and alpha 1 beta 3 delta channels exhibited only two open states with mean dwell times similar to those of the two shorter open states of the alpha 1 beta 3 gamma 2L channel.
Addition of a delta subunit to form the alpha 1 beta 3 delta heterotrimer altered the single channel conductance and the kinetic properties of the closed components, but did not affect the GABA sensitivity of the receptor nor the open state kinetics.

Expression of the C-terminus domain of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (beta ARK1), which contains the consensus motif (QXXER) for binding G beta gamma, reduced the fast (pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive) and voltage-dependent inhibition of ICa by noradrenaline and somatostatin, but not the slow (PTX-insensitive) and voltage-independent inhibition induced by angiotensin II.
Overexpression of G beta 1 gamma 2, which mimicked the voltage-dependent inhibition by reducing ICa density and enhancing basal facilitation, occluded the voltage-dependent noradrenaline- and somatostatin-mediated inhibitions but not the inhibition mediated by angiotensin II.
Co-expression of the C-terminus of beta ARK1 with beta 1 and gamma 2 subunits prevented the effects of G beta gamma dimers on basal Ca2+ channel behaviour in a manner consistent with the sequestering of G beta gamma.

 POL30 -
To preserve genomic beta DNA from common endogenous and exogenous base and sugar damage, cells are provided with multiple base excision repair (BER) pathways: the DNA polymerase (Pol) beta-dependent single nucleotide BER and the long-patch (2-10 nt) BER that requires PCNA.
A cDNA encoding the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) from Brassica napus (oilseed rape) was shown to complement the lethal deletion mutation in the PCNA gene (delta POL30) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The sliding clamps of bacteriophage T4 (gp45), Escherichia coli (beta clamp), and yeast (PCNA) are required for processive DNA synthesis by their cognate DNA polymerases.

 [Frontiers in Bioscience, 4, d849-858, December 1, 1999]
Clamps have a common ring shape that is able to rap around DNA and slide along double helical DNA freely in both directions (8-10) so that their interactions with DNA polymerases stabilize the enzymes on template.
The head to tail connection at the interface of clamp monomers is maintained by stable interactions of hydrophobic residues.
It is apparent that the existence of a DNA sliding clamp is a necessity for all organisms.

The clamp loader (gamma complex) of DNA polymerase III holoenzyme puts a beta clamp around an RNA primer using ATP energy.
The beta ring is constrained to the primer since it cannot slide over single-stranded DNA.
Since beta is needed to tether core polymerase to DNA, the end result is a primase-to-polymerase switch.

 Brainstorms: Convergence or Divergence?
Sliding DNA clamps are ring-shaped proteins that allow DNA polymerase to achieve high processivity during chromosome replication by tethering the polymerase catalytic subunit to DNA.
In the case of DNA sliding clamps, the basic function has remained the same across all the groups, but eukaryotes attach a number of extra proteins to the clamps in comparison to prokaryotes, and archaebacteria are well-known extremophiles.
Too me it seems like the function is basically "sliding clamp" (surprise surprise), with the purpose of serving as an attachment to hold other components near to the DNA strand, and it seems that a variety of ring structures could serve this purpose.

 Brainstorms: Convergence or Divergence?
Starting with the Clamps, it has been suggested that the PCNAs and the Beta Clamps are likely related because they look so similar, and also because they (supposedly) share some very remote sequence similarity (which we might expect if they really were related).
Once more for good measure, when we BLAST the Beta Clamp, we find, for example, that a *yeast* proteasome component is actually one of the top scores against the bacterial Beta Clamp.
Since Beta is much bigger than PCNA, this means that there is a block of sequence (>100 aa's) in the Beta Clamp that does not align to PCNA at all, as far as I can see.

There are other associated proteins that attach to the clamp loader; for example, a subunit that functions to couple the clamp loader to single-stranded DNA binding proteins.
The three gamma subunits are ATPases (AAA+ family of ATPases), and act as the motor of the clamp loader by uncovering parts of delta (covered by delta' in the resting state) upon ATP hydrolysis.

As thering-shaped beta sliding clamp works its way along the DNA doublehelix, a network of proteins work together to unwind the two strands.Polymerases then add, in assembly line fashion, nucleotide bases -- thebuilding blocks that make up DNA -- to convert the now-single-strandedtemplates into two new duplex DNA molecules.
"Onepossibility is that the beta clamp may sense when Pol III stalls,triggering a change in beta that pulls the polymerase from the primedsite, allowing Pol IV to take over synthesis," O'Donnell says.
