Comparison of the DNA capture state (left) with the E. coli Wadjet I holding state (right; PDB:8Q72),41 and a model of the equivalent MukBEF holding state (middle). The latter was composed from DNA-bound MukEF (PDB:9GM9), the apo MukB/MukF interface (PDB:7NYY),18 and a remodeled MukF linker. Coordinates were superimposed on the DNA. The state transition from capture to holding state requires a rotation of MukB and the MukF linker around the DNA.
