A low Smc flux avoids collisions and facilitates chromosome organization in Bacillus subtilis

A low Smc flux avoids collisions and facilitates chromosome organization in Bacillus subtilis

SMC complexes are widely conserved ATP-powered DNA-loop-extrusion motors indispensable for organizing and faithfully segregating chromosomes. How SMC complexes translocate along DNA for loop extrusion and what happens when two complexes meet on the same DNA molecule is largely unknown. Revealing the...
