Cohesin in space and time: architecture and oligomerization in vivo.

Show abstract
Cohesin helps mediate sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome condensation, DNA repair and transcription regulation. Cohesin can tether two regions of DNA and can also extrude DNA loops. We interrogated cohesin architecture, oligomerization state and function of cohesin oligomers in vivo through proximity-dependent labeling of cohesin domains. Our results suggest that the hinge and head domains of cohesin both bind DNA, and that cohesin coiled coils bend, bringing the head and hinge together to form a butterfly conformation. Our data also suggest that cohesin efficiently oligomerizes on and off DNA. The levels of oligomers and their distribution on chromosomes are cell cycle regulated. Cohesin oligomerization is blocked by mutations in distinct domains of Smc3p and Mcd1p, or depletion of Pds5p. This unusual subset of mutations specifically blocks the maintenance of cohesion and condensation, suggesting that cohesin oligomerization plays a critical role in these biological functions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
