Although distinct in structure and function, cohesin and condensin both contain conserved chromosomal ATPases of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein family. Present models indicate ...
Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops in the genetic material which determine the ...
Newswise — To pack the genetic information, inscribed in roughly two metres of DNA, into its nucleus, a human cell must achieve the equivalent of fitting an 80-kilometre-long thread into a sphere the ...
