Popis: Summary Eukaryotic SMC complexes, cohesin, condensin, and Smc5/6, use ATP hydrolysis to power a plethora of functions requiring organization and restructuring of eukaryotic chromosomes in interphase and during mitosis. The Smc5/6 mechanism of action and its activity on DNA are largely unknown. Here we purified the budding yeast Smc5/6 holocomplex and characterized its core biochemical and biophysical activities. Purified Smc5/6 exhibits DNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis and SUMO E3 ligase activity. We show that Smc5/6 binds DNA topologically with affinity for supercoiled and catenated DNA templates. Employing single-molecule assays to analyze the functional and dynamic characteristics of Smc5/6 bound to DNA, we show that Smc5/6 locks DNA plectonemes and can compact DNA in an ATP-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that the Smc5/6 complex recognizes DNA tertiary structures involving juxtaposed helices and might modulate DNA topology by plectoneme stabilization and local compaction.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • Purification of enzymatically active Smc5/6 yeast holocomplex • Smc5/6 coiled-coils exhibit a folded conformation • Smc5/6 stabilizes DNA plectonemes • Smc5/6 compacts DNA against low forces in an ATP-dependent manner
Gutierrez-Escribano et al. purify the entire Smc5/6 holocomplex, retaining full enzymatic function. The Smc5/6 complex compacts DNA against low force and stabilizes DNA crosses present in supercoiled and catenated DNA. These findings indicate that many Smc5/6 functions occur through stabilization of DNA tertiary structure.
