This domain is found at the N terminus of SMC proteins. The SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) superfamily proteins have ATP-binding domains at the N- and C-termini, and two extended coiled-coil domains separated by a hinge in the middle. The eukaryotic SMC proteins form two kind of heterodimers: the SMC1/SMC3 and the SMC2/SMC4 types. These heterodimers constitute an essential part of higher order complexes, which are involved in chromatin and DNA dynamics [1]. This family also includes the RecF and RecN proteins that are involved in DNA metabolism and recombination.
This domain is found at the N-terminal end of E3 SUMO-protein ligase MMS21 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and similar fungal proteins. MMS21 acts in a DNA repair pathway for removal of UV-induced DNA damage that is distinct from classical nucleotide e ...
This domain is found at the N-terminal end of E3 SUMO-protein ligase MMS21 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and similar fungal proteins. MMS21 acts in a DNA repair pathway for removal of UV-induced DNA damage that is distinct from classical nucleotide excision repair and in repair of ionizing radiation damage. This domain forms an helix bundle with a coiled-coil structure. It is required for the binding to Smc5, which is essential for cell growth and resistance to DNA damage [1].
Nse1 and Nse2 are novel non-SMC subunits of the fission yeast Smc5-6 DNA repair complex. This family is the zinc-finger domain similar to the MIZ type of zinc-finger [1].
The MAGE (melanoma antigen-encoding gene) family are expressed in a wide variety of tumours but not in normal cells, with the exception of the male germ cells, placenta, and, possibly, cells of the developing embryo. The cellular function of this fam ...
The MAGE (melanoma antigen-encoding gene) family are expressed in a wide variety of tumours but not in normal cells, with the exception of the male germ cells, placenta, and, possibly, cells of the developing embryo. The cellular function of this family is unknown. This family also contains the yeast protein, Nse3. The Nse3 protein is part of the Smc5-6 complex [2-3]. Nse3 has been demonstrated to be important for meiosis[3].
Nse4 is the kleisin component of the Smc5/6 DNA repair complex. It bridges the heads of Smc5 and Smc6 [1,2,3,4]. This is the C-terminal domain of Nse4 that interacts with the head domain of Smc5 [4].
