摘要: Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes, which in eukaryotic cells include cohesin, condensin and the Smc5/6 complex, are central regulators chromosome dynamics control sister chromatid cohesion, condensation, DNA replication, repair transcription. Even though molecular mechanisms that lead to this large range functions still unclear, it has been established complexes execute their through association with chromosomal DNA. A set data also indicates SMC work as intermolecular intramolecular linkers When combining these insights results from ongoing analyses binding, how interaction influences structure chromosomes, a picture carry out many starts emerge.
