Limits of Chromosome Compaction by Loop-Extruding Motors
During mitosis, human chromosomes are linearly compacted about 1000-fold by loop-extruding motors. Recent experiments have shown that condensins extrude DNA loops but in a “one-sided” manner. This contrasts with existing models, which predict that symmetric, “two-sided” loop extrusion accounts for m...
