摘要: The evolutionarily-conserved eukaryotic SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) proteins are ubiquitous chromosomal components in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. form two kind heterodimers: the SMC1/SMC3 SMC2/SMC4 types. These heterodimers constitute an essential part higher order complexes, which involved chromatin DNA dynamics. most prominent best-characterized complexes cohesin condensin, necessary for sister chromatid cohesion chromosome condensation. Here we discuss these functions together with additional roles gene dosage compensation recombination.
