Topology and structure of an engineered human cohesin complex bound to Pds5B

Cohesin is a ring-shaped protein complex that structures chromatin and mediates sister chromatid cohesion. Here the authors rigidify cohesin using engineered Smc1 and Smc3 and generated 3D models showing how Pds5B forms an integral part of the cohesin ring.
