Chromatin association of the SMC5/6 complex is dependent on binding of its NSE3 subunit to DNA

Abstract: SMC5/6 is a highly conserved protein complex related to cohesin and condensin, which are the key components of higher-order chromatin structures. The SMC5/6 complex is essential for proliferation in yeast and is involved in replication fork stability and processing. However, the precise mechanism of action of SMC5/6 is not known. Here we present evidence that the NSE1/NSE3/NSE4 sub-complex of SMC5/6 binds to double-stranded DNA without any preference for DNA-replication/recombination intermediates. Mutations o… Show more

“…To analyse the role of ATP binding to SMC5-SMC6 within the complex stabilized by KITE proteins, we added Nse1 and Nse3 to the p416ADH1-Nse4 plasmid (p416ADH1-Nse4+Nse3+Nse1 construct, 5Y2H; Fig. 3B; [30, 37]). Consistent with their Nse4-stabilizing roles (Fig.…”

“…Support for this alternative possibility stems from structural studies which suggest that in the SMC-like MRN complex, the DNA-binding site on Rad50 is within the globular head domains but outside of the central pore formed by the Rad50 coiled-coiled domains (Williams et al, 2008). Similarly, also in Smc5/6, the DNA binds to a sub-complex interacting with the head domains, outside of the coiled-coil pore (Zabrady et al, 2016). Future work mapping the precise path of DNA through cohesin will be necessary to test this alternative model.…”

“…A variation of the single-translocator model might be one where a flanking DNA is bound to the exterior of the SMC protein complex through the entire reaction cycle (Fig. 7c), for example via the DNA binding sites located at the walls of the lower compartment in condensin and SMC5/6 [27][28][29]. If so, then translocation to the left would result in asymmetric loop extrusion, as has been observed for yeast condensin [23].…”

“…4a, leftmost and rightmost states). A DNA segment is encircled by the lower compartment in bsSMC and yeast cohesin in the apo state [25,26], either sterically held, or possibly bound noncovalently to a DNA binding site as observed in eukaryotic SMC complexes [27][28][29][30]. The configuration of state 0 can be imagined to be the result of the type of 'loading' reaction associated with initiation of SMC complex activity.…”
