Cryo-EM structure of the Smc5/6 holo-complex

The Smc5/6 complex plays an essential role in the resolution of recombination intermediates formed during mitosis or meiosis, or as a result of the cellular response to replication stress. It also functions as a restriction factor preventing viral integration. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure o...

Zusammenfassung:The Smc5/6 complex plays an essential role in the resolution of recombination intermediates formed during mitosis or meiosis, or as a result of the cellular response to replication stress. It also functions as a restriction factor preventing viral integration. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of the six-subunit budding yeast Smc5/6 holo-complex, reconstituted from recombinant proteins expressed in insect cells --providing a full overview of the complex in its apo / non-liganded form, and revealing how the Nse1/3/4 subcomplex binds to the hetero-dimeric SMC protein core. In addition, we demonstrate that a region within the head domain of Smc5, equivalent to the "W-loop" of Smc4 or "F-loop" of Smc1, mediates an essential interaction with Nse1. Taken together, these data confirm a degree of functional equivalence between the structurally unrelated KITE and HAWK accessory subunits associated with SMC complexes.

Footnotes * An image duplication error was identified in supplementary figure 3a; for Smc5-Y isolate #2 and isolate #3, 24 hours / YP. This has been corrected in this revised version of the paper.
