Abstract excerpt
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are central regulators of higher-order chromosome dynamics from bacteria to humans. The Bacillus subtilis SMC (BsSMC) homodimer adopts a V-shaped structure with an ATP-binding catalytic domain at each end. We report here that two small proteins, ScpA and ScpB, associate with the catalytic domains of BsSMC in an ordered fashion and suppress its ATPase activity....
