Abstract excerpt
Structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) and the SMC-interacting kleisin protein families have key functions in the chromosome organization of most organisms. Here, we report that the Bacillus subtilis kleisin, ScpA, can form a ternary complex with the SMC and ScpB proteins in a yeast tri-hybrid assay, supporting the notion of a bacterial cohesin/condensin-like complex. Furthermore, ScpA interacts in two-hybrid...
