Loop extrusion: Key components, Biological function & Background

Loop extrusion is a major mechanism of nuclear organization. It is a dynamic process in which structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes progressively grow loops of DNA or chromatin. In this process, SMC complexes, such as condensin or cohesin, bind to DNA/chromatin, use ATP-driven motor activity to reel in DNA, and as a result…
