DnaX is the gene that codes for the τ and γ subunits of the DNA clamp loader of prokaryotes. The eukaryotic equivalent to the DNA clamp loader is Replication Factor C, which is encoded by RFC1, RFC2, RFC3, RFC4, and RFC5.

Replication

Prokaryotic (elongation)	DNA polymerase III holoenzyme (dnaC, dnaE, dnaH, dnaN, dnaQ, dnaT, dnaX) · Replisome · DNA ligase · DNA clamp · Topoisomerase (DNA gyrase) Prokaryotic DNA polymerase: DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment)
Eukaryotic (synthesis in S phase)	Replication factor C (RFC1) · Flap endonuclease (FEN1) · Topoisomerase · Replication protein A (RPA1) Eukaryotic DNA polymerase: delta (POLD1, POLD2, POLD3, POLD4) DNA clamp (PCNA)
Both	Movement: Processivity · DNA ligase

Termination

Telomere: Telomerase (TERT, TERC, DKC1)
