Adding a twist to the loops: the role of DNA superhelicity in the organization of chromosomes by SMC protein complexes.
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes, including cohesin, condensin, and the Smc5/6 complex, are integral to various processes in chromosome biology. Despite their distinct roles, these complexes share two key properties: the ability to extrude DNA into large loop structures and the capacity to alter the superhelicity of the DNA double helix. In this review, we explore the influence of eukaryotic SMC complexes on DNA topology, debate its potential physiological function, and discuss new structural insights that may explain how these complexes mediate changes in DNA topology.
