Figure 3. Possible DNA binding sites in SMC ATPase head and hinge domains.

Figure 3

(A) Structure model of DNA bound at the shallow surface of the dimerized Methanocaldococcus jannaschii Rad50 ATPase head domains (pdb: 5f3w) and of DNA bound to the coiled coil of one of the Thermotoga maritima Rad50 ATPase head domains (pdb: 4w9m) projected onto the M. jannaschii structure. (B) Structure model of the dimerized T. maritima SMC hinge domain (pdb: 1gxl). Colors represent positive (blue; +5 keT) or negative (red; –5 keT) electrostatic surface potential values.
