(a) A representative trajectory from a DNA motion capture experiment showing DNA compaction mediated by wild-type BsSMC with 1 mM ATP. The position of each quantum dot is shown by a different coloured line. DNA compaction eventually makes it impossible to resolve adjacent quantum dots. Compaction completes at the tether point. (b) Two representative examples of BsSMC-dependent bridging of adjacent SYTOX Orange-labelled flow-stretched DNAs in the absence of ATP. [BsSMC]=180 nM. Arrows indicate the DNAs of interest. Bridging was observed in 34 DNA pairs out of 85 pairs of closely spaced DNAs.
