The architecture of the RSC complex RSC is a Snf2-family chromatin remodeler complex that controls the promoter architecture of most of the genes in yeast. Using single-particle cryo–electron microscopy, Yeet al. determined the structure of RSC bound to the nucleosome. The structure reveals the modular architecture of RSC, shows how RSC engages the nucleosome, and explains the remodeling directionality. RSC shows strong similarities to homologous human complexes that are frequently mutated in cancers, and this structure provides valuable information for understanding these systems.Science , this issue p.838
