Cryo-EM of cohesin clamping DNA in the E-S/E-K state.

(A) Cryo-EM map of 40 bp DNA clamped by Scc2- and ATP-bound cohesin EQEQ trimer at 3.4 Å resolution. Both front and side views are coloured by subunit. (B) Same complex as shown in A but bound to ~1.8 Kbp relaxed circular DNA as a cryo-EM field view (using Volta phase plate, left) and a selection of 2D class averages (right) clearly showing DNA emanating from cohesin/Scc2 complexes. (C) 7.3 Å resolution cryo-EM map of the complex shown in B, coloured by subunit, demonstrating that the same conformation of the complex has been obtained as with linear DNA (panel A). Same orientations and colours as in A. (D) 2D class averages obtained by reprocessing of the same data set as used for A with an enlarged box size show the position of the coiled coils and the hinge. (E) ~ 10 Å resolution cryo-EM map of the entire tetramer complex as shown in D. Since we used the same complex as used in the in vitro entrapment reactions, we can deduce that the DNA within the clamped structure depicted in A, C and E must be entrapped in both the E-S and E-K compartments.

Molecular interactions in the E-S/E-K state.

(A) Cartoon representation of the refined atomic model of cohesin’s clamped (E-S/E-K) state based on the 3.4 Å resolution cryo-EM map (Figure 7A, same orientation and colours, Supplementary file 1). (B) Basic and polar residues of Scc2 involved in the interaction with DNA. Scc2 interacts only with the backbone. Residues in its vicinity are labelled in black while those mutated in Scc2-4E (Figure 4) in purple. (C) Scc2 makes extensive contacts with both Smc1 and Smc3 heads: (i) Scc2 binds Smc1 through its HEAT repeats 18–24 (residues 1127–1493) that dock onto the F-loop on Smc1 (residues 1095–1118) and the emerging coiled coils above it. (ii) Smc3’s K112 K113, whose acetylation reduces loading efficiency, are in the vicinity of a negatively charged patch on Scc2 (819-EDEED-823 and 781-DD-782). (iii) Scc2 binds to Smc3 through a β-strand (part of the otherwise disordered loop 1178–1203) that complements the central β-sheet of Smc3. (iv) The N-terminal section of Scc2 contacts parts of Smc3’s coiled coil arm/neck, close to where the last ordered region of Scc1’s N-terminal domain is bound to the Smc3 coiled coil. (D) DNA binding to the SMC head domains is pseudo-symmetrical. Top: the pseudo two-fold axis of the DNA neatly aligns with that of the head domains underneath. Bottom: The head domains interact with the DNA almost exactly two full DNA turns apart, utilising pseudo symmetry-related surfaces (Smc1: K63, S112, R113, and K124; Smc3: K57, K112, K113, and K125). (E) The two lysines K112 K113 are in contact with a negatively charged patch on Scc2 (see panel C iii), but are also in the vicinity of the DNA backbone. (F) The N-and C-terminal domains of the kleisin Scc1 bind canonically to Smc3 and Smc1, linking the heads and topologically closing the tripartite Smc1/Smc3/Scc1 (S–K) cohesin ring. A tentative path of the disordered regions of Scc1, not visible in our cryo-EM map is shown to demonstrate the topology as deduced from the loading reactions and subsequent crosslinking that show that the DNA must be outside the tripartite S-K ring.

Videos

Video 1
A model for the formation of the clamped E-S/E-K state of cohesin.

According to this model cohesin transitions from a putative ‘bridged state’ (modelled on the same state of yeast apo condensin as observed by cryo-EM) (Lee et al., 2020) in which Scc2, analogous to Ycs4 in condensin, bridges the Smc1/3 heads. In the bridged state Scc2’s DNA binding surface becomes accessible for DNA to attach without impediment and positions it for the next step, namely clamping. ATP-binding driven head engagement, achieved through a rotation of the Smc3 head relative to the rest of the complex, and with Scc2’s and Smc1’s relative orientations staying the same, results in entrapment in the E-S compartment. Because the disordered kleisin chain has to be pushed upwards during the clamping, the DNA is also in the E-K compartment. The initial binding of DNA to the Scc2 DNA binding site guides the DNA through the large opening of the heads generated by the bridged state and leads to the final clamped state that has been described in this study. The video is a simple morph between a putative bridged state of cohesin modelled on the same state in condensin and the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of the clamped state determined in this study, with a few clashes removed manually because cohesin and condensin subunits, in particular Scc2 and Ycs4, are not completely homologous structurally.
