... of the Biochemical Society 2024 2-micron plasmid condensin hitchhiking segregation The 2-micron plasmid of budding yeast is a selfish circular DNA molecule that resides in multiple copies extrachromosomally within the nucleus. With a molecular size of 6.3 kb and an average copy number of 40–60 per...

...Antonio Valdés; Christian H. Haering 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...

... BY) . archaea CID cohesin condensin SMC TAD The seminal studies of Woese and Fox revealed Archaea to be a distinct domain of life from Bacteria and Eukaryotes [ 1 ]. More recent advances in phylogenetic methods, coupled with massively increased taxonomic sampling have revealed deep divisions...

...Erin E. Cutts; Alessandro Vannini Condensin and cohesin, both members of the structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) family, contribute to the regulation and structure of chromatin. Recent work has shown both condensin and cohesin extrude DNA loops and most likely work via a conserved mechanism...
