SMC-ScpA-ScpB complex~scpA and scpB (segregation and condensation) are proposed [1,2] to act with SMC (structural maintenance of chromosome). SMC is not universal, but is found in Eukaryotes, Archaea, and Bacteria. It is homodimeric in Archaea and Bacteria. A mutation study [2] has shown a role for scpA in DNA repair in addition to its role in chromosome condensation and segregation. Proteins that act with SMC may be termed kleisins; Different SMC/kleisin complexes are termed cohesins and condensins. ScpA and ScpB are clustered in most bacteria. SMC and scpA tend to be clustered in the archaea. |
