Figure 4. Models. (A) Molecular architecture of condensin and cohesin. N and C indicate NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal nonhelical domains, respectively, of the SMC subunits. By analogy to BsSMC, we assume here that the coiled-coil arms of the eukaryotic SMC heterodimers are arranged into an antiparallel fashion. The relative positions of the non-SMC subunits (shown in yellow) are arbitrary. (B) Hypothetical models of the interactions of condensin (left) and cohesin (right) with DNA.
