Looping the Genome with SMC Complexes
Open accessAbstract
SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are an evolutionarily conserved family of motor proteins that hold sister chromatids together and fold genomes throughout the cell cycle by DNA loop extrusion. These complexes play a key role in a variety of functions in the packaging and regulation of chromosomes, and they have been intensely studied in recent years. Despite their importance, the detailed molecular mechanism for DNA loop extrusion by SMC complexes remains unresolved. Here, we describe the roles of SMCs in chromosome biology and particularly review in vitro single-molecule studies that have recently advanced our understanding of SMC proteins. We describe the mechanistic biophysical aspects of loop extrusion that govern genome organization and its consequences.

SMC complexes form and extrude loops of DNA, causing structural changes on the size of hundreds to thousands of base pairs per loop.
“SMC complexes form and extrude loops of DNA, causing structural changes on the size of hundreds to thousands of base pairs per loop.32”

The Introduction says SMC complexes fold genomes into loops, and the Abstract identifies DNA loop extrusion as the mechanism. But the Introduction describes the large-scale loops as 0.1–1 million base pairs, not hundreds to thousands of base pairs per loop; §3.1.1 gives a figure of up to 200 base pairs per extrusion step, which is not a loop size.

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.
