DNA binding to SMC ATPases-trapped for release

Schüler, Herwig LU orcid and Sjögren, Camilla (2016) In EMBO Journal 35(7). p.5-703
Abstract

The SMC/Rad50/RecN proteins are universal DNA‐associated ABC‐type ATPases with crucial functions in genome maintenance. New insights into Rad50-DNA complex structure and cohesin regulation inspire a speculative look at the entire superfamily. Identification of a continuous DNA binding site across the Rad50 dimer interface (Liu et al, 2016; Seifert et al, 2016) suggests a similar site in cohesin. The localization of this site hints a DNA-activated mechanism for cohesin removal from chromosomes.
