Chromosomal domain formation by archaeal SMC, a roadblock protein, and DNA structure
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1038/s41467-025-56197-y
Abstract
SUMMARY: Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes fold genomes by extruding DNA loops. In eukaryotes, loop-extruding SMC complexes form topologically associating domains (TADs) by being stalled by roadblock proteins. It remains unclear whether a similar mechanism of domain formation exists in prokaryotes. Using high-resolution chromosome conformation capture sequencing, we show that an archaeal homolog of the bacterial Smc-ScpAB complex organizes the genome of Thermococcus kodakarensis into TAD-like domains. We also find that TrmBL2, a nucleoid- associated protein that forms a stiff nucleoprotein filament, stalls the T. kodakarensis SMC complex and establishes a boundary at the site-specific recombination site dif . TrmBL2 stalls the SMC complex at tens of additional non-boundary loci with lower efficiency. Intriguingly, the stalling efficiency is correlated with structural properties of underlying DNA sequences. Our study illuminates not only a eukaryotic-like mechanism of domain formation in archaea, but also an unforeseen role of intrinsic DNA structure in large-scale genome organization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
