Chromosomes are shaped by the combined function of the condensin and cohesin Smc-kleisin complexes. After more than two decades of research in this field, a new study finally sheds light on how these machines might interact with their DNA substrates.
染色体的形状由凝聚蛋白和黏连蛋白 Smc-klleisin 复合物的共同功能决定。经过二十多年的研究,一项新的研究终于揭示了这些机器如何与它们的 DNA 底物相互作用。
